i had a free afternoon yesterday so went to 3 dealers for a part exchange value on my 02 svs which has done 28000 miles and is immaculate. everything is either st/st or titanium. chester honda said it was only clean and it would have been better covered in ****e with half the mileage and offered me £1700 against a 900 hornet or cbf 1000. bill smiths in chester said it was the cleanest one they,d seen and really liked the polished forks and offered me £1800 against a new reduced in price daytona. the salesman at woods in abergele was ****ing amazed at it and went to get the othe salesman and his boss to come and look at it. his boss was not as enthusiastic but offered £1800 against a pre registerd daytona or £2000 against a new one at the reduced price. the young salesman then gave me the keys to a 2nd hand speed triple and said to go and enjoy myself. which i duly did. the speed triple is an amazing piece of kit. i would describe it as soulful and ballistic

. if i didn,t think the position on the daytone was too extreme for my old knackered body woods would have had a sale. i,m now trying to find a cockpit fairing to fit the triple. on the way home from wales a guy on a tuono came past me at well over 80mph and not having seen the corner i was lining up for promptly crashed nearly causing me to crash. he ended up in a soft ditch totally unhurt but his bike was totalled. he was a very lucky guy as a car coming the other way just managed to stop for him as he slid across the road

THats not exactly what you want to distract you when cornering!

Part ex on a markI SV is pretty low, but I'd get the speed triple if I wasn't of HONDA's superior build quality.

The muppet on the TUNA will just add to the insurance burden we all have to bear

my mate has been trying to part x his thruxton 900 (54 plate) its booking at £4700 but the most he can get is £3500 against a £7700 buell firebolt.
