I've seen this model brand new for £6995 at Wheels in Peterborough if they still have it left. Its not the brand new model but last years. On 0% too.
Otherwise i'd choose bike one cos by the look of the mods its been a sunday hero's bike so probably bounced of the limiter in each gear.

The newer one if cash isn't so importantant. Then put the bobbins on. Rather have a newer one and personalise it myself.

hmmmm standard and do what you want to it.....but then again, other ones got them pazzo jobs on it and Yoshi zorst.
Would you prefer to do what you want to it, or like what someone else has put on it to save your pocket? Think how much it would cost to put extras on a standard bike.

For me neither are my cuppa, but if I was after one, I'd perhaps be swayed to standard. I searched for ages for a standard non molested Raptor, and I've finally got the bike I always dreamed of......if it helps make your decision better?

For the few quid difference I wouldn't let the very few extra miles trouble me at all. Like anything make sure you check it over thoroughly.

Most sunday heros ride like complete pansies, and these bikes are designed to be frapped to within an inch of their lives by axe-murdering lunatic club racers, and they stand up to it well for most part. The tyres don't look very heroic.
