had a look at it last night as it was on egay and local to me, seems fine etc but needs new pads, and oil + filter change as he has no history

done 15k miles so will need new chain and sprokets soon

i offered him £1200, buy it now was £1550res was lower but it only got to £1120

years mot, no tax.

now this is the fun bit lol, the reg is R600 KAT - its a yamaha yzf thundercat

he reckons the plate is worth about £800 so he would change it to get some more cash, i said i couldnt give a fook what the reg says so do it.

but will it cost him anything to change it? i know its like £85 to put a car plate on retention, but im not sure if a company has offered to buy it etc?

he seams to thinkit wont cost him a penny so hes quids in - but i kow nothing about reg transfers etc

as long as it stays on an R plate, i dont care

any input??
