have you tried putting an advert in the wanted section on here?
I am sure some one will want to trade up to something else before summer.
Good luck looking!

seems a bit high to me. i got myself a k8 (with just under 17k miles) for 2.5k£ in May last year and that was from a dealer.

sad thing is everyone up here seems to be buying older bikes, and the German's also cleared out Newcastle of 2 year old bikes for the last 2 years

... and Polish folk make regular trips to collect older bikes by the van load :(
Our poor rate of exchange works in favour of visitors from the continent, and they can get a ferry to just outside Newcastle :(

It's getting more difficult to find bikes around the North East at sensible prices :(

ps. I'm still looking for a summer bike, let me know what you have :) (see ad in the wanted section, and apoligies for the semi-hijack :-$ )

Best time to buy is when the weather is at its worse. Snow and ice. That now gone, people will already be thinking about spring and buying a bike. Much the same as yourself I expect.
