Looks tidy..... I'd expect you can chip that down at this time of year.

Personally, I'd pay the man his bally £2,200 and be done with it...... but then, I am a gentleman.

wasn't  sure if it was a good price seems the chesapest for condition millage etc and its up the road, I would normally but the missus car insureance got canceled so had to fork out a small fortune to fix that, and well this will be cutting it fine

I've got a 2002 R1, blue with black frame and letter box tail light, bought it two years ago. Commute all year round on it and a great bit of kit.
