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.

Probably a grand of bling on this bike and I reckon you could get it for £7000 which with the bling is about £4000 off the new price for 742 miles of use. Bargain IMO.

Looking to trade my daytona in so need a dealer really. Just looked at an unregistered 2013 near me. I need to get a part worn on the back of mine first so I can get it up there.

This is my problem, I want an 848 but the ZX6 is nearly half the price for an equivalent age/mileage and arguably the better bike for what I do.

That's exactly what my head says, but I can't stop looking at 848s

See, nearly double the price and it wouldn't go any higher over Itchy's Leap.

It would however get cleaned more often and I'd get a easy chair for garage.

Now that's nice.. Probably one of the two bikes that would interest me IF I could change the RSV.. But I do like the 848 Dark.

The SE Corse's do tend to go for silly money. You could nearly get an 899 for that price.

But an 848 Evo is the one to go for if possible. And if it has the slash cut Termi cans fitted then they are worth a tidy sum on their own.
