Well, this is the first time I've seen a 1290 on sale for below ten grand. And it's from a dealer too.

Now I only have to wait for them to fall another three before they reach the price I'd be willing to pay for one.

If I had 7K spare at the moment I'd be tempted by this. Not sure what the reserve is though.

It's not a Jota but I'd be not bothered, it's still a big triple with a lot of attitude. I like it a lot.

Saw that one.

Plenty of S1000R's around at 8K ish now so wont be too long before the 1290 gets there too.

Somewhere between 7 and 8K is probably where I would consider pulling the trigger too.

I pulled the trigger last year for double that.(15k)
But ridin wheelies on the duke for the last year, instead of waiting, was priceless.
