What do you reckon it would be worth in bits?

1300 miles...

Rather than selling it complete. I don't mind the effort as long as it's worth my while!

It's all good.

Just I stand to loose more money than I would like in a short space of time/miles!

I owe 7300...

But 'book' price is 7. Allegedly.

And just got offered 6250!

Likewise, I wasn't spending £400 to sort the lighting out!

Now shhh... someone might wanna buy mine!

I've ridden three potential replacements for it recently:

Ducati Supersport S, Honda CB1000R...and the favorite so far... Z900RS. It was the Cafe version and I'm not sure I prefer the look or not, but it was great fun to ride!

What did you think of the Duc SSS? I do like the looks and perhaps fun for a bit of touring.
Second favourite!

The heat it generates - or can't get rid of - is a bit annoying. And the noise... not so much the running volume, but just the slightly fake sounding popping sounds. It might annoy my neighbours.

It looks and goes great but I'd probably have got the standard and spec the quick shifter. Needs a firm push down the gears though. Didn't seem to have an issue finding neutral as reported in various places.

Thread revival. But I thought I'd share the amusement...

Two months and 2 hundred miles later... just had a trade in value from the place I bought it from. £6k. And apparently that's over book!

It's predicted to be worth £4700 in two years and on 15k at the end of the PCP!

Might as well ride the bloody thing. smile

Funny story...

I thought it's a dry day today, wife's out and I've got my Keis stuff to play with. I'll re-tax it and go get a test ride on an Interceptor.

It wouldn't start. The starter switch and relay have failed. Again. First time was about 300 miles in... now it's on about 1600!

Stuck something across the terminals and left it with the local dealer. Rubbish.
