Unbelievable. I just praised the RR4 Repsol today in this thread where I claimed the 2004 to be a better handling Blade than the later versions: https://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-bike-today.2209/page-362
Great to be here and thank you for the welcome ! Funny you should say that nearly did buy a red one but couldn't get a decent deal out of the owner
That's because owners of the red bikes are under the misguided apprehension that they own the fastest colour, and therefore any new buyer should pay premium price.
