Default Re: to upgrade, or not to upgrade?

Do you really reckon you'll get £4000 for your current Blade? It seems a bit high from guides I've seen (where £4k is about the absolute max you'd ever pay for a 954)?

If you really could get that much, I'd upgrade just cos it's a bargain (and I like the red one).

Is it the bike you really want or the Headbangers reputation that will follow it due to the mods it has had on it ?

i dont need the upgrade, boris II is plenty fast enough for me

i have not ridden boris III i can take it out for the day next time we go out (the owener is 5 stone heavier and a foot taller, and can only manage 100 miles at a time due to the lower bars)

i have had boris II nearly 2 years and done over 20,000 miles, he should be good for another 2-3-4 years with out any major work

i guess it is the mods thats "turning me on" if the bike was standad, i would not even entertain the idea.

boris II looks much better than boris II

£4000 for mine is probably a bit much, but looking about, i would say £3700?

No way have you had Boris II that long, actually I know you haven't! Cos, Boris I (1997 or 99 blade) was bought after you dinged your SV at North/South, which stopped you coming to AR07.

I reckon it was after Xmas 07 you got it n all, so fits in with 15 months.

the crashed SV did not stop me coming to the AR, it was dodgy electics that stoped me coing to the AR, which may or may not have somthing to do with the crash?
