    Hi guys n girls.

    Just a quick note to say hi.

    Just getting back after a couple of years away from 2 wheels. I've just acquired what was meant to be the bargain of the year. My newely purchased RR4 has 30k serviced miles 8 months ticket , good tyres and chain and Is in pretty good condition ( although grubby from being left outside uncovered for the last 12 months ).
    All for the grand total of a thousand pound.
    I'm new to Honda following a succession of other brands and on first impressions I'm really happy with things.
    The only downer is a small issue with it already.
    Is it the afore mentioned bargain or a pig in disguise... ......only time will tell.
    Thanks for having me aboard.

    Hi and welcome, for a grand I'd say you've had a bargain, providing the small issue doesn't turn into a big one!!

    Even then you're still quids in!! :)

    Well done. Welcome I think it's a bargain even if it turns out to be a parts bike.

    I'd start with a big electrical clean of plugs, earth points and switches.
    Don't leave it with the battery connected until you've solved it.
