Deal done , subject to an independant inspection .... Only thing wrong with it really is a cracked n/s headlight. There are a few tiny marks here and there but nothing major at all, and it sounds the bollocks ... Rear wheel/ hub etc has been looked after, so no long holes, and had a belts and oil service just over 800 miles ago. Guy is totally upfront and has given me all the details of previous owners and the details of where it's been serviced etc. Picking it up on Saturday,my birthday if all turns up trumps on the inspection.

Mrs is NOT happy at all, but you gotta do it while you are young . not bad for a first bike I will probably be riding like a right sissy for the first few months .

Can anyone suggest a good inspection company that can travel?
