Other than that check if it has a servo eliminator or that the servo works :)

Also ride it to check the gearbox is okay (through all gears)
No I'll get one from a dealer so I can have a proper test ride and the normal 3 month warranty.

My wife has complained I've not done a list, so I emailed her one last night with exhausts, helmet, gloves and all sorts of biking goodies on it.

She wasn't impressed (lol)

I don't have any biking stuff on my list. Mainly as I want a PS4 with starwars battlefront. But also as I know I can get it cheaper myself.

My son wants a PS4. I was tempted until I found out you can't play PS3 games on it, which is a bit crap.

Yes I agree that is poor, but I have 2 telly's. PS3 would be the lounge telly for Blue rays and if I can get on it when wifey isn't watching something. And PS4 would be the conservatory/sitting room telly* for when she is watching telly, or when I want to play ps4 anyway.

*depends on what house we buy next

Have a look if there is a software update available or planned for release soon.

It was the same with the xbox one not being able to play xbox 360 games but they have ow done an update to amend that issue.

Sony have said they can't do it (or won't do it).

It's a bit crap. Games aren't cheap.

Agree pretty crap. Sony are happy as means people buy more games which is a bit cheeky.
