Default Re: buying advice (which one)

right then..............

i have found a number 5

its an 03 not an 02 only 8000 miles £3800.

but im not keen on the look? the head fairing looks odd IMO,




so, do i compromise and not get the the look i want? i think if i keep looking an 02 will come up somwhere




sorry for keeping on about this

i can see what you mean, Your avatar does look better, But that surly is a bargain not to be missed (newer, low mileage & $100 off)
How about a black screen, would that make it 'work' (photoshop?)

I like option 5, however if its not your cup of tea, I wouldnt buy it as you'll just wish you waited.

Does look a good deal though

op 5 and change to dark screen. They changed to fuel injection in 02 didnt they? So the only real difference is that nose? Low mileage is a winner for me every time so yep op 5. What is it with you and yellow!


Those crash bungs are extreme ... dont corner to hard, you will be scrapping them!

I voted number 3 at first as it was low miles and if you wafted ?3700 CASH under his nose he will probable accept it. But then I saw number 5.... tough one, even lower miles, newer bike and I bet he will accept your ?3700 if CASH was being wafted about.

It is between number 3 and 5 but if you ask me I would go for the LOW mileage number 5 and put a black screen on it.

That's probably not going to work because the colour scheme & esp. the FireBlade Decal covers both the upper & lower fairings.
