What when you could buy that silver one for another 600 quid,take a step back,take a chill pill and have a think,cuz your getting into full blown headless chicken mode and it'll all end in tears.  :) ,4 weeks from now you'll be freezing your knackers off and they'll be giving e'm away,or you'll be getting 'I'll wait till next year to sell' problem being it'll be another 6 months older and thye'll be cheaper anyway,untill you've spent your money your in the driving seat,after that your stuffed, calm down  :roll:

+2 on that .... patience grasshopper.

I found my 2000 last January with 17k on the clock and seemingly well cared for (hard to tell at first but I've put 5k on her since and she runs like a top) with a few farkles. I paid a little under $2000 American at the time. Couldn't touch this bike for $4000 it seems from April to October.

Yeah I feel like I got an unusually good deal but I watched and waited for 6 months AND I would've taken a number of different years as well as the right deal on (GASP) another brand but I'm VERY happy with what I ended up with.

Keep your mind open and your patience pants on my friend .. the right deal will find you  :wink:
