    Sorry to hear also gaz, I've been there once before too with a Harley nightster and crap service from Leeds Harley Davidson. Bought it new,(as second hand ones hadn't appeared as of then) was different to the bike on my test ride as that one was fully modded suspension wise but kept quiet so mine just didn't live up to the dream nor the price I paid. It was a turd for the money.
    Would you have been happy with it if it was a fraction of the price as the flip side of the question ?

    i think its a life style more than a bike

    it looks great and if i had a penny for every photo taken of her while i have been here at the TT i could go buy another one!!

    it really is a bike for nipping out on a sunday ride to the pub or sea front for ice cream

    i dont dislike her but i can't say i am falling in love with her

    maybe in another 5 years i will see it differently

    i would certainly recommend a thruxton for the pose and reasons stated above but as a tool around the IOM its not really for me. I miss my 1098s a lot but would have used both for different reasons if the bloody 1098 rad hadn't sprung a leak!!

    Yup know what you mean Gaz. Love my thruxton but feel I need a second bike as she ain't a commuter! Or tourer! I'm too ugly to pose so I ask myself why?!?

    @Tigcraft
    those holiness are fantastic, the difference between those and stock is night and day

    oh and I am willing to sell the bike as described above for £7500, at only a month old and a total cost of nearly £10k I think thats a pretty good buy

    Cheers

    It was just intended as a small (perhaps very small) joke. :oops:
