    Hi,

    Looking for a speed triple 1050, got around £8,000 to spend, what do I need to know?

    I understand the 15,000 service is costly, and I see I can go older with less miles or newer with higher miles any major points I should bear in mind?

    Just be prepared to have a silly grin on your face when you get one, they really are that much fun.
    Welcome, and good luck with your search.

    That's beautiful just worth more than my £8k budget. Suspect it will sell quickly.

    But 8k will get you a previous year/model with low miles :)

    Not good. Looks a costly repair. What would have caused that do you think?

    If you have a grand more you can have my r dark with just 534 miles on. Only 50 available. Check my listing, but it got ruined by all the stalkers and trolling by others.

    Personal attack much?
    Are you saying there is something wrong with people that need counselling too?

    Edit: Leaving further comments off this thread. Not fair to the OP.
