Hi from Kent

  1. Hi all, got a cbr600rr and a big 916/996/998 scratch I just gotta itch!!

    Had big motards, an old British single, and a handful of sports bikes over the years so I can't see I won't like one.
    This however is as far as I can get, I can't seem to get anyone to let me test ride one!! Does anyone know where I can hire one, or know a dealership that has one that I can test ride then poss part ex my Honda? I've searched the usual places but to no avail!!

    cheers for your help
     
  2. Red Dog Motorcycles in Edenbridge have a 916 for sale.

    Where in Kent are you ? I'm in Orpington and Edenbridge is 30 min away
     
  3. Know it well, used to live in orpington, and biggin hill a few miles up the road. I'm in west malling now, still not far.

    I tried red dogs, I went to look at a "T" reg 996 6000 miles there about a month ago, he said that he doesn't let people test ride, and that he could offer my bike for sale wouldn't take it in part ex :-(
    It appears to be a common response, I guess they do a bunch of cleaning up to flog them and don't want me getting them dirty.

    Thanks though :)

  9. Hi Chris

    Well good luck with your search and I have no doubts that once you scratch that itch your only regret will be not getting one sooner.
