    Well today I have come home the new pround owner of a 2010 CBR1000RRA in white and black with a full Akroprovic exhaust for £7999 with only 7165 on the clock.

    Traded in my 2000 CBR929 for it.

    Dont know if im happy or sad at the mo but hey, its a new toy :D

    Thanks Rob, I have never really been keen on the Repsol but I did initially want the Castrol rep version but this came up at the right price at the right time so I thought why not :)

    Lovely mate, very wise choice, the HRC ones are quicker but you wont be far behind ;)

    Nice mate. White and black is clearly the best colour. not a bad price either considering the exhaust system will be worth 1k

    I have exactly the same colour and wherever it is parked people comment on how nice she looks.Many walk past the other schemes to look at mine.
    Black is the quickest but with white is has style too.So you've got the best of both mate.
    Enjoy!

    I wouldn't mind but I wasn't intending on buying a new bike as I was happy with my 2000 Blade but the offer I got was far too good to turn down, oh well another impulse buy :)
