Well you dont have insurance until Monday so no point colecting until then. From then onwards it depends if you are working Mon/Tues as you wont ride it much anyway.

IMHO let him MOT it(that guarantees it passes....you never know what a different or even the same inspector might find on the 2nd inspection) so you dont have to worry about that. Then collect Wednesday after work with a big

If you are desperate for it then collect whenever you want, but factor in the potential inconvenience and riding with no MOT/insurance.

You can get away without one as long as you dont ride it really hard. Its the same as the early R6 in that respect. Personally i agree with you though and would want one fitted.

Gonna let him get the MOT done before collecting. Never know how much the horn will cost to fix. Cant ride it till mon anyway. Will look into the steering damper thingy, not sure if i'll ride it hard enough but better to be safe than sorry i guess. Already watching a seat cowl on ebay.. New zorst and tail tidy needed too! ........... Here we go again!

OR

He will knock off the cost of getting pads changed, horn fixed and another MOT and I can collect now..

I'm thinking let him sort if before collection.. Wise move?
Get him to fix it, didn't you said you've got to wait to get your insurance sorted anyway?
