GET THE GREEN ONE.

I think I have...

Basically went and looked at them again, the black one looked tattier than the green, the red one looked too chavvy, so I've put a deposit down dependant on a test ride 'coz there was a fuelling issue with it when I went to test it today!

Unless your telling me I should adopt a real cheap skate mentality?

The seller has the right to tell you to take a running jump, so be cheeky. I've blagged some real bargains that way, and also paid what the bike was really worth due to the faults that reared their ugly heads a few days after purchase.

I now work on the basis that if the seller is too willing to take a silly cheap offer, there's something wrong with it.

nothing wrong with a bit of haggling

good example is eviltwins Z1000 was a stupidly low price to start with, it had been serviced by the book but i suggested that he tries to knock him down a bit as it should have had the brake fluid and coolant changed

Got another £50 knocked off

Haha I used to camera assistant but alas no more, yer I am the same, my digital camera got nicked in mexico and can't afford the film for my SLR. I have been meaning to buy a new camera, but just haven't got around to yet!

Awesome dude, I'll see you and your new bike next Friday
