    I've emailed them and I'll get down there on Monday 1st to take a look. If they'll come down to 5K then I'll take it. . It's a good one by the look of it. Thanks again MMB. I did look on autotrader but I didn't see that one. Will let you know how it goes...

    Try and negotiate the 12000 mile service into the deal ;);)

    Hi James,

    Newbie myself, also in West London, I have had mine for 3 weeks. I watched the usual places for a while e-bay, autotrader etc and I found one that fit the bill at Destination Triumph, made them an offer, did a deal and they brought it to me. Not one normally to praise dealers, but I have to be fair, I got a good deal, they were easy to deal with and did excatly what they said they would do, when they said it. So no complaints. Love the bike.

    You should buy the bike on here. Think you will regret it if you miss out. It has all the ad ons you are going to want. And make an offer then beg borrow don't steal but that bike has your name on it.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Should have had the 10,000 mile service done, next one at 20,000. Don't worry about the mileage, I have done 32,000 miles on mine with no problems. Check the brake pads, my fronts were done at 10k, 15k for rear and chain needed replacing at 15k, sticky links.

    Hello mate. thanks for your message. Glad you got sorted. I've found a nice Street twin actually. The one recommended to me on this thread in Croydon. I have to wait till my Yamaha Tmax sells though before I have sufficient funds to buy it.

    I've seen another one, same year '16 for the same price, but lower mileage and a couple of extras on it. The only problem is - it's way up north. They'll deliver it to me for £100, fully serviced MOT'd, but if anything was to go wrong with it whilst it's under warranty [1 year], I'd have to get it back to them up north. So I'm little undecided at present. I'd be interested to know yours or anyone elses opinion ?

    It's a beauty alright but I want a street twin really. At a lanky 6ft 3" I find them a more comfortable ride. Many thanks for your input mate. Much appreciated.

    To be honest they seem pretty robust, I have had no problems with mine so far.
