    Not quite true Martin. Cheaper to run didn't come into it, but having a less expensive bike sat in the garage due to our fantastic weather was a big part of the decision. My RC8 is a 2010 and only cost me £6500.

    Went to look at the one in Chelmsford today.
    Again no service history and not that tidy.
    Also rang Abingdon honda and that one has no history either.
    This is not very easy so far.

    And I have to say from looking on auto trader etc I'm getting more tempted by an rr5 or 6.
    There's a nice one in Farnham on there at the mo that I will prob go look at.

    I have mate but its over 4 hrs drive away if the traffic is good.
    It's just to far to go to have a look on the off chance it's as good as I'd want it to be.

    Yup understand mate

    Personally I'd give it a few more weeks before setting myself on any bike. Be that a SP or a Fireblade. As coming up for the spring more will pop up.

    Unless a bargain came along in the right condition.

    I think you'd be hard pressed to find 1 better to be honest. But again you'd need to see it first.
