You can get a bag of crap one for a couple of hundred quid that will still last ages, it's mental spending £3k on a hack

Indeed. If memory serves me correctly I picked up mine for about £350 with a brand new MOT. It served me well for the time I had it. 2 years I believe it was. Only issue I had was a rotting exhaust which was exchanged for a stainless steel system and new front discs because they had worn to minimum thickness. The exhaust and discs together cost about £100. Bargain.
