You got good mates Scott! 8)

To do the same deal at David Jones it would have cost me £1300 instead of £600....plus it had to be registered before 31 August. So it would have been an 04....according to Graham that was a stipulation by Suzuki. Yet another lie out of his stupid mouth I'm afraid. Very poor salesman indeed....he fails to establish the knowledge level of the people's he's dealing with. Consequently he trips over himself with false representations. I like the shop and the other guys, but I'll never deal with him. He tried to play hardball with The Cool Guy....and like all the others, he came up short! 8)

Tell him he'd be more bloody depressed if he was 50! :cry: But, no sign of grandkids for me....thank God!

Your crew? We need photos! 8)

Portmeirion...and it's still the same today. Been there many times....better in Winter cos it's eerie and fairly deserted.

Go to the top of the class NT! The Prisoner! I've been a big fan since I watched it as a kid in 1967. :?

That's what I said when I washed my foreskin earlier!

My avatar is a hint! 8)

You're too young to understand it's connotation NT.

Don't need anything to get it to stick up Scott!

Mullet-Free Zone this end Scott!

Hi Will! 8)

.....I've now gone back to Unmutual! 8) But I'm still cool! :yes

And it gets even better! I continued "negotiating" and they offered me the faired model (which is about £300 more) for the same price! Obviously I jumped at it...paid my £600, and collect the bike with a 54 plate on 1st September. 8) So in light of the fact that I'm getting a brand new bike with 2 yrs warranty, AlphaDot security, and AA cover worth about £4500 for £3300....maybe there is an excuse for Suzuki ownership! 8)

As you say there's plenty of options Alan. I've had 2 of the earlier Fazers and they're great. But I tend to buy budget bikes pretty much all the time, and if I could get a CBF Honda or FZ6 at that sort of price then I'd grab one. But instead of paying £600 cash, I'd have to spend about 2 grand instead. And tbh I'd prefer to minimise my spend on the main bike so I can get a little Serow for off roading if one turns up over the Winter months. Plus with the B6 at that price, I won't get much depreciation, whereas the £5K+ bikes will plummet.

And cos it only stands me at £3.3K against a list price of £4249, I could part ex it back with Dai Garland next year and he'll probably give me at least £3.5K for it. So I could actually make money on it! Here's the info: http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/model.asp?id=76&l=

I've had a B12 in the past Alan....a K1 oil burner...so I won't go there again. Also the wife refuses to go on a B12 again due to it's tendency to wheelie slightly. I did 3300 miles on mine and the front tyre only touched the ground for about 100 of them!

.....it's very difficult to say no to this deal: THIS...... PLUS.... £600 EQUALS A brand new Limited Edition Bandit 6 on a 54 plate! :shock: What would you do....especially when you consider that the XT only stands me £2.7K. So I'd get a brand new bike for £3.3K. :shock:

Shit....that's bad news NT. But it could have been worse....at least you're OK.

Incidentally, Fowlers in Bristol are now dong the FZ6 at £4499 otr! :shock:

Yeh...bloody ironic that Alan. As you know, I don't ride with others, so I'd met the guys in Elan Valley then gone to Devils Bridge. They followed me over 15 mins later so I'd been there longer than they had, that's why I left earlier. Catch up with you soon though.

Don't listen to him NT....I'm very macho and hunky! :oops:

Just looking at that photo Phil. What the bloody hell are those handlebars on the F1? Though if those casings are black, it's an F2. 8) Either way, it looks gross!

Warning to all Yamaha Owners! Don't believe a word of what Ren says. He's from Cardiff and rides a Kawasaki (aka Suzuki's bitch) so therefore he cannot be trusted! 8) Oh....and he's a

He's a Gog Phil....you know how tight they are! Probably thought he'd have to get the coffees in! I expect you told him I had to get home early for domestic duties though! :oops: And how would you fancy 250 miles on the XT seat? :shock:
