Gas up ....... That's a great and useful posting. Thanks very much for it and the tips. Any thoughts on what the slight knocking might be from the area of my steering head when on slightly rough ground ? Don't get the noise on the road. (Sorry to hijack your thread a little Wighty) Ta. ps can't get back to a PC for a week now ..!!

Good to hear that you bought it. I have only had mine since Feb. It's on 04 plate and had 1600miles only - really good nick. I love it. I live in north Dorset and just use it to play around locally with. There are some lanes also. I'm sure you'l enjoy yours too. For a single modern 'thumper' they are a smooth machine. I have a very small knock at the top of the steering head that I need to investigate, but I only hear it when off road. Could just be the headlight assembly ? It seems very well built and solid otherwise. Roll on the summer !!

Top end in the book is I think about 104 mph. Mine is very comfortable at 70 mph, though I rarely do this. I reckon I get no more than 40 mpg or so, but I don't pay much attention to these figures. Price is always subjective. For 05 plate and 2k miles, if in excellent cond. - £2.7k - £3.0 k would not be far out from a dealer. Maybe less if private. Good luck
