There's more to it than that...
I got an irresistible deal that made more sense. I hadn't got to test anything yet and was doing the rounds. I decided I loved the GSXR million edition so looked at an online bikes for sale site and found a couple. Then thought I'd look at second hand prices to see how they go here.

The bike new was to be $17,000 new.

I found an ad for a 6 week old bike, done 311 km. Bike + R&G tail tidy, seat cowl and the Yoshi. Extras were $1,000. Guy was throwing in A stars boots(wrong size), jacket which is my size and summer short style gloves. That lot was another $1k. All in he paid $18,150.

Basically he traded a Harley for it, shat himself and put it up for sale

Mine for $14,500. Too much of a bargain not to buy. It'll sell for about the same price at 1 year old. Saved $2,500 and got a jacket and gloves. Sold the boots for $150.

I'm happy with it and it's very comfortable.

I was not going to even look at another ZX10 as I've done that and fancied a change.
