If a few things fall in to place I'll be looking at marks next week :0)

More interested in buying from someone I can trust than a specific bike. Seems a top spec as well.

Unless you spend all your time at places like Snett and Silverstone I'd bet that the majority of track riders would lap faster - and have more fun - on a 600 / 675 / 750 than a thou.

I ride a 750 at mid pack fast group pace and KNOW that it's not the outright power of my back that's stopping me going faster. Getting rid of my 1000cc track bike was the best thing I did track day wise.

I know M6rk, and I've sold him stuff at a fair price.

If someone accepts a low offer, that's their lookout. I'm pretty sure if you look back at M6's history, all of the bikes he turns over get a good going over and service/tidy before he punts them on.

The first offer should always make the seller wince.  :evil:
If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning.
