yikes.

50% avoid, 50% 'go for it'

Think I might keep looking

Fact is if it makes by back play up again I'll have to be able to sell it on

There are two 07's here, one wth 9800 miles on with panniers, that you might just get for £3500, and one with only 1200 miles on it for £4k.

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on that

The 9800m sold last week, the 1200m one I saw on saturday and not only does the engine make a serious rattle/squeal, he's obviously had a major off and there's quite a bit of damage on the right-hand-side.

The black 11,060 one was in pretty bad shape and the 11,566 yellow one has had 4 owners which makes me a bit suspicious.

Thanks for your advice folks - Just been sent more pics and I'm gonna pass.

There have been better condition bikes with less miles for that money so I'll just keep my eyes peeled.

The search goes on.
