Check what a service includes as Rocket was told the same when buying his TEN and he was far from happy from the limited work they did.
Any extras ? Condition, FSH Much price difference ?
Hard to tell but go with the one that you feel confident about and feel has been looked after and a genuine no bullsh1t sale.

Right. As I do following he mega advice and piss taking on here have put a deposit down on this baby. FKSH, two owners, non-ABS, mint all round with service book up to date. http://www.jordanbikes.com/pages/used/u ... v5lWmF4WnM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Now the challenge, who can get my bike up to Leeds and the ZX-10R back down for me? I'm thinking put it in a rented van and doing the swap over or get mine sent up and there's back down.
I know some of us Slappers travel up and down so....options guys???

I've actually sat on that bike (apologies for the sex wee stains). I'm a regular at Jorden Bike, as I pass it regularly and always pop in for a looky.Cornish wrote:Right.

I highly rate them, always very good stock and most importantly they run their own parts and labour warrantees so they don't take any chances on what they sell. They don't offer those insurance based warrantees, so if any part is in doubt they change it as it doesn't make financial sense for them to drive down to London to replace a battery.
It's also the place my bike will be going for it first major service.

Is buying a ZX10 just a new way of outing yourself?
