The price negotiation has already started

The KTM looks good. Knock the cost of a new set of tyres off the price and you are away.

Your right it riding well is a no brainer

Haven't yet done the deal on the KTM, but if it rides well then it's a no brainer...

Cancelled the test ride this afternoon and messaged the KTM guy. Guess what I'm doing on Monday...

Took a test ride on the new blade, interesting. Its a fair few pennies. Nice and smooth delivery on the throttle, easy to deliver over and above the speed limit. Change the mode on the move, is good. Im running my grey matter over the purchase of the SP. The part exchange pricing is crap. Lets see w...

Surprising amount of interest in the RSV and might have provisionally sold it

Also spoken to the owner of the KTM I posted... May be cancelling the test ride tomorrow in favour of going to see the KTM on monday..


Got to love the fluid dynamics that are life

Nice one Jon. Hope you get a quick sale and fair price.

New bike day is going to be hear very soon.

No, after a bit of thought I don't think it's worth part-ex-ing. It's on eBay now and I've already had 2 messages asking for a cash price.

Much as I hate eBay I think it's going to be the way forward.

Have you had a px price for the RSV ?

Or give him a call and see if he will deliver.

I've travelled 200 miles for the right machine before Nutz.

Book a cheap 1 way train ticket. Enjoy a few hours chilling on the train with a film and a little pack of goodies and then have an epic ride home.

See it as a nice day out rather that a big chore is my advice

Jon, there is a red 848 Streetfighter advertised in the latest Ducati Owners Club mag for £5,500. 4,950 miles and will be sold with new belt service. based in Cornwall. let me know if you would like the owners number. That's a good price for the bike and having the belts done is a massive bonus. No...

I like the super Duke you posted Nutz and the 848 SF Duke posted sounds good too. If it's ownered by a Ducats Enthusiast it will most probably be like new too

Booked myself in to ride the speed triple demo at Swindon triumph tomorrow afternoon.

If you're going to another big V twin it's not a massive leap of faith. But if you're buying, why not try before you buy?

I think we all have a general idea on which bikes we might like. I would have thought that a Superduke is close enough to your current bike but with the changes you want, without it being too big a risk.

You may find an eBay advert live tomorrow for an RSV!

I'm very tempted to take a risk and just buy without test riding loads of bikes, with the thought in mind to just sell it on quickly if it doesn't suite.

Is that too risky is the question?
