    CONGRATULATIONS-Stick a piccie up,mate, it should be in ++ condition for £7k ( has it got the usual extras?) in my view but they are belting bikes and I assume you got a dealer guarantee.6k miles is nothing for a well loved FSH blade. Black looks great (I prefer all black but its a personal issue). They go out of dealers really quickly. Im sure you will love it like I love mine. Cant really go wrong -enjoy it
    Best

    Price seems right at the top end for a 2010. Have a look on here to see what people have been selling their's for.

    Ultimately the price is immaterial.

    You must be happy with it, as you have negotiated the deal and that's all the matters.

    Hi mate.. Seems expensive to me.. You must be suited tho :). Don't mean to sound personal but is it going to be on finance or are you paying for it? My pal is selling his anniversary edition blade in black so it's the new shape one on a 12 plate. Standard with 3500 miles.. He wants 7250 for it :).. Give me a shout if you fancy it

    It's all about whether you have the Cash or you need finance and also whether a dealer warranty mean much to you.


    I'm looking at p/x my 13 Plate HRC for a new ZX10 and have been offered between £7750 & £8250 depending on which bike I buy and where from.

    Another £800 would get you mine at 18 months old with just over 4K on the clock.
