    Yeah I saw his add already unfortunately I don't have £8.5k to play with! That's nearly £3k more than the one I'm looking at.

    thats non abs! no bulging lower part of undertray, no sensors near calipers and not sure about the black bikes but other colour abs bikes have bronze colour calipers as opposed to light gold! hope this helps.

    Those tyres and lockwire on the oil-filler cap are screaming track bike to me. Not necessarily a bad thin though, mine is an ex-tracker but I knew that and it was reflected in the price.

    Looking at this, this afternoon a lot of doubt in my mind over that first one.

    Hey Buddy, is that a hugger you have on your ABS model, iF so where did you get if from. I have a 2013 model told you cant get a hugger because of the ABS module, ends up sitting to close or maybe its just a Honda one you can't

    Yep,its an R&G one, its fits nicely, I had a pillion on and its doesn't rub. There wasn't much choice of hugger when I bought the 2012... its quite subtle unlike some!

    That HRC looks a good clean bike, 09 model the same as mine. Definately not ABS that one and nearly a blank canvas from which to start modding from. That one has an R&G tail tidy and crash bungs + Honda hugger. I'd ask the right questions about it if I was looking.

    That looks very nice, IMO the best HRC scheme thats why I have one!.
    Try to get the original engine bolts also, - it a bit of a bitch but with RG bungs, to remove the side fairing you need to completely remove the bungs and thus need use the original bolts, surely someone has come up with a better design!

    That's a fair point but by the time you've bought the extras mine has got you'll have spent nearly £8.5k anyway!!

    Open to near offers!!

    Whichever bike you end up with, hat's off to you for doing homework and being careful. That first one suggests ex-race bike to me, not just a trackbike. Lockwiring an oil filler cap on a trackbike is a bit extreme! Good luck with finding a steed!

    Yeah there is to much doubt in my mind over the first bike I've written the £50 off already and won't be viewing it so thanks to the guys here for spots on things I didn't notice.

    As for yours moz a lovely blade and yes I agree with the extras yet I don't have that cash I'm afraid. The extras are built up over time so I can save and buy. Yours won't hang about anyway!

    I don't get what you mean here slick ? If you remove fairing just leave the bolts out put fairing on and reinstall bung and bolt . Unless I missed summat earlier in the thread

    Ah yes, I get what you mean.
    You're right, must had been having a moment you can use just use put the bungs back, I'm such a noob sometimes! Sorry Matt for the duff advice.

    I still think the RG aero are a bit of duff design where you have to remove them completely to take off the fairings!

    Anything where you have to drill (damage) the fairing to fit it in the first place is a duff design to me. Sexy bike all the same
