hello,

after years of thinking about it im finally out to buy a duke. apparently im only allowed two bikes though!! so my hornet has to go, the MT-01 is a keeper, forever.

i thought it best if i ran my options past you lot first:

yes i love ebay! and im not looking to go higher than £4500 really.
im leaning towards the dealer's one, so i can part ex the hornet (cant be arsed with hassle of classifieds).
im in no rush though, so if anyone spots anything nice let me know.

John

After a quick look I suggest you wait till another pops up as none of these appeal to me for several reasons.
The 08 maybe but it might have been dropped and you need to calculate in about 100 quid to replace the ugly red bars....
The other ones a bit to dear for the age. Nothing against a 05 or 06 model but they are 6-7 years old now so that should reflect in the price.

Due a water pump rebuild if it has not been done, CCC exhausts are cheap as, not bad price, de stickered would leave some £££ for bling.

Not bad price really especially with akros (worth £4-500) orange bars as stated are pap but he may have OEMs, could get it a bit cheaper too.

OK but personally would want to be paying £3800 or less

Waaaaay overpriced even from a dealer.

I would opt 07> bigger tank, radial brakes but not quite that hooligan element of the 05-06 model.

Out of the above I would go for this:

Get it 100quid cheaper and thats a good price
