:-k You reckon so? Spoke to someone the other day and they seemed disgusted I was parting with near £1300 for an Srad...then again they're often known to be wrong.

This is one of the closest I can find on ebay apart from the one on ebay is a 600 which I understand are less sort after & doesn't come with a trailer. Although one I'm looking at is in the common blue & white paint jobby (not that I'm bothered bout paint).

The ohlins suspension is worth probably £300 alone. That means you get a 160odd mph bike for a grand.

Engines are OK, but if you can test ride it make sure it isn't jumping out of any gears. Try oldskoolsuzuki.info to see common issues.

£1300 is pretty decent for an SRAD 750, think they go for a little more than that usually, but normally with a track fairing worth a little bit less. It doesn't sound too bad especially if he's willing to negotiate, but I would check it's all in decent running condition and check the frame etc, quite easily could be an un-claimed for write off etc etc.

Cheers guys - yeah chris when you put it like that it's damn tempting!

Think I'm gonna see it again over the weekend, give it a proper look over and test ride it and see what the lowest he'll take for it is. My mates offered to park it on his drive if I need till the minis gone if it means I can get a good deal on it.
