Glad your happy with her now, but your story only highlights what i have been saying for a long time, that a lot of folk out there are still prepared to go to dealers and pay inflated prices to get perhaps a 3 month warranty and a shiny looking bike, when in all reality its probably just come out the container and had little done to it, when the other option would be to buy off someone, for instance, this forum, who have perhaps owned the bike several years, gained a bit of knowledge about it and sorted all its problems, but no their still frightened of that private sale. Hope she is running sweet now mellorp, not as fast as your old R1, but youll have a big permanent smile, enjoy. Cheers Les.
