No, they took it off the web site on the same day it sold. I nearly walked out with this though

Don't quote me on this but i think SoManybikes may be one of the outlets where they sell bikes bought from We buy and bike.com. there is one in Bradford too i think.

I must confess that personally i would want to see a full service history i could check up on from any bike i thought about buying from the webuyanybike places.

Couldn't say, but they did say they buy very cheap, don't spend much on the building and turn a lot of bikes over. It's like an old warehouse.

I did get a good feeling from them and the bikes I looked at had got a documented service service history though.

If you look at the prices on the web site they are way below most dealer "marked" prices. Suspect they won't haggle as much as some dealers do.

This is the one in Bradford been a few times they are the same setup cheap bikes large turnover. Spoke to the them about a gsxr before Christmas with no haggling they were willing to knock £300 off a very cheap gsxr1000. I wanted a test ride but they don't do them. They hide the we buy any bike vans round the corner. http://www.rite-bike.co.uk/757621/index.htm

Missed out in a Tom Sykes limited edition rep and a Rsv4 factory there other day so I hope I'm not disappointed again. It seems bike sale are doing well at the moment as the two mentioned above sold within days of being listed for sale.

This is what the black and green is like.

That looks ausome !!!!!!!!!

Looks very smart, Blade. Hope the deal; works out for you.

Do they do a rear seat cowl for the ZX10? The rear seat doesn't look right to me probably because nearly every one of these i have seen has been a racebike. And who would be made enough to ride pillion on one anyway.? :D

Anyway, I reckon that's the best ZX colour scheme Blade. Look forward to having a go!

I wouldn't give ritebikes any money without wheeling the bike away first.

Their accounts are over 6 months overdue and their is a proposal to strike them off the register.

In my experience with the Zx6r and now the zx10r it is not worth worrying about.

Within a couple of months, both my swingarms had lost paint due to the back of my boot (ankle area) rubbing against it. That may be due to my massive feet, but I also think the paint is very soft paint on the swing arm.

The rearsets on my zx6r sit close to the swingarm so your boots scuffs it up. It looks similar on the 10r.

I've got some carbon swingarm covers to fit on mine.
