Its end of the month too so will likely do a deal to up his end of the month target.

Only 40 minutes down the motorway from you as well (y)

Cheers all. Unfortunately that one above is 2012 and I'm looking at 13+ as I think that's when the last major update was and all the electrickeries were added. Unless I'm wrong? I've never really looked into Kwaks before so trying to catch up. I know the Daytona models inside out but this is a new world! Thanks again for all the above!

The R series is mine so that's without the electrics.

I'm so pissed off. Found a bike on ebay last night. In fact I found the bike. Phoned up a few times through the day and no answer. Got through in the afternoon and they'd not long taken a deposit on it. Now every one I look at isn't quite as nice as that one (swear)

Cr@p news Andy mate, sorry to hear that.

Have you seen this one ? its the £1000 more expensive ABS version which retails at £10000 so seems well priced for a bike just run in.

Does anyone happen to know what the three or four letters after 636 signify? EDF, FFFA etc. I assume the A is abs but the other three...
Maybe a little too blinged up that one for me. It always puts me off when people start adding stickers to a bike. Always wonder what they're hiding lol.
Motorcycles direct do seem to have some good prices! I reckon I've already missed out on too much biking this year so I will be doing something about that this week.
