They are a bugger to lift mind you.


Not worried about the mud, I am washable.
:( That's rubbish :(

Only sorted collecting on Wednesday yesterday. Genuinely gutted.

Nothing comparable available for the same money.

What an arse.

Can't make someone sell something I suppose.

Call him in a couple of months and see if he still has it. Smacks of a gazzumping to me.
Significantly faster than you.....

Legally you had a contract - offer and acceptance - so you could probably pursue it if you were a twat and wanted a legal bill!
What a pain in the bollocks.

The plot thickens, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel or it could be someone with a torch messing me about.

Go with your first instincts. If it feels like you're being dicked around you probably are.

Got my deposit refunded yesterday and sent the vendor a message to confirm and just asked him to let me know if he changed his mind.

Got a message back saying as I was now free on Wednesday would I like to come and see it. Bit odd as it was not for sale.

Anyway it turns out he had been out for a ride on his mates Royal Enfield and wants to buy that so the T700 is available again.

So we have agreed that I have first refusal on Wednesday, no deposit.

Will believe it when I see it but prepared to stick with it for now.

Think Dan had the right idea, buy from a dealer, pay full price, easy.

I'm also far too impatient to wait, I'd have had it sat in my garage well before he'd had the chance to sit down with a brew and think....... "fuck".....

Regretted selling my Buell as it was being taken away. Glad now though, this new bike in infinitely better.

Fingers crossed for Wednesday...or....gazump him on the Royal Enfield; assuming it is the Himalayan! ;)

I've felt that about two bikes: my SP2 and my ZRX1100. The SP2 because its now worth about £10K more than I paid for it, and the ZRX because it was 'ossum...

It is a Royal Enfield Interceptor, looks nice.
