Opinions on this wee

It looks good for that price    make sure you visit our shop and get some stickers for it

Looks a lot nicer!!

That looks a nice genuine one.

Have you paid a deposit? I'd be careful as the ad is still running, tge owner could be holding out for more.
Either get over to pick it up asap or expect the possility of losing the bike (or paying quite a bit more for it).

I really hope that all works out for you, maybe I'm being cynical again but expect the worst.....

That does sound a nice bike, as said, I would be getting my grubby mitts on it asap.

I reckon that one will be over £2200 by the weekend, I'd get over there pronto!

I know in winter some bike prices dip but in spring I'd expect that to sell for between £2500 to £3000 - or am I out of touch?

Ad is down now, and yes, deposit paid.

Anything I should look out for?

Most sensible bike I've ever bought. Must be getting old.

Nope, they seem pretty sorted. Just do the standard checks you would with any used bike (whatever they are).
Mine's the same colour & model as yours (but a 57 plate).

Just start getting prepared to be annoyed by the buffeting from the screen, if so it is fixable so don't suffer in silence. I can now cruise on mine at 70 with my visor up, but when I first got her she would give me a headache over 50.

[garth]

What's the fix?

[Rich:-)]

There are loads of threads on here about that very question, and it's a "no one solution for all" type problem, in fact some don't even experience it.

Givi Airflow screen or Madstad adjustable bracket are the main goto products, see how you get on first.

Collect it Sunday. 

An excellent choice of colour too
