    I have been on the lookout for a RR7 Repsol Blade for some time now.

    Thought i would up the ante and throw a advert on to ScumTree to see what came out of the woodwork. Low and behold a mint RR7 with only 3k Akrapovic can, Power Commander and Quick shifter fitted plus a few other small goodies fitted. And best of all it is only 7 miles away. :D:D

    Going tomorrow to have a look, I'll upload a few photos. With that mileage things should be ok but is there anything I should look out for. I read about corrosion around the sump plug but I am hoping all is well.

    Well I went for a look and it is very nice BUT the tail section has lots of very light scratches. Looks like it has been cleaned with a dirty cloth has anyone had any success in polishing out light scratches? It's perfect otherwise.

    theres lots of good polishes around which should improve things but a new tail panel could be bought and replaced easy enough. if everything else is right then it could be worth going for.
