  1. £6.5k is a steal for an RS, but probably closer to the true value compared to what a lot of sellers ask. I was looking for a cheap one for ages as a donor bike for my special (I ended up using an S4 which only cost me £2k) and people were asking silly money, often north of £10k. Most of them are still for sale, which means they're vastly overpriced and are probably worth more like £7.5k. The cheapest RS I ever saw was a bike which had been imported from Spain, had very little paperwork with it, hadn't been run for years so needed recommissioning and IIRC that went for £6k (but then budget for another £2k to get it proper again), so £6.5k for one which is ready to go and has FSH is a bargain.

  9. Looking at history, belts, plugs, tensioner done end 2017 (1800 miles) ago. Can’t see anything in previous history (mainly stamps in book) that says they have been done.

    I’ll probably do a few miles before winter then stick in for a full service anyway. Get rear shock done at same time with right spring for me.

  10. haha . welcome back to monstering bradders, very nice indeed.
    that will give your neck muscles a good workout

    i suggest not putting clips on on it, its fun for about 45 mins, then you will wish you had the stock bars on again

    i have these cyclecat rearsets for sale that would look lovely on that :)
