    Motoforum and tdr are prob your beat bet as rob says. But you'll find most things on there end up on eBay anyway.

    Tried having a look at that "motoforum" and I never realised how unfullfilling it is looking at ads with no pics! :rolleyes:

    Another one Mat is if U know which make/model bike you want then join that specific forum.

    That way you'll be exposed to any bike that comes up for sale and can even post a wanted thread for any members potentially wishing to sell.

    I knew I wanted a ZX10R so naturally I joined this!

    Kawasaki ZX10R .co.uk Bike Forum - All Welcome not just ZX10R Owners ;)

    Good thinking Jay, we atre looking at either the Blade, GSXR1000 or the ZX10r.

    As much as i love my R1's it made me realise at the track that it wouldn't have performed as well as the others imo.... We will have £10,000 for 2 track bikes....

    Seen it Muffking and if it had had a V5 would have snapped it up, what do you think of the ZX10r ive linked?? I have a feeling the price of that will go much higher...

    Kwak looks nice but 195bhp is Bollox, Chart or no chart!

    What year is the R1 Matt?

    Cookie and his Mate both run R1's in the Fast group and do very well!

    "As much as i love my R1's it made me realise at the track that it wouldn't have performed as well as the others imo"

    What U wrote above led me to believe U had an older R1 at home?
