    It's blue.
    '04 model.
    As new.
    Newish tyres but some Sportsmax shit.
    Will come serviced.
    No luggage.
    £4750 before haggling.

    It has done.... 2000 miles.

    Good deal/bad deal?
    What are they like to own/run

    My thought are,

    Good points:
    looks ok
    big headlights
    well finished
    reliability
    185 top end ;o)

    Bad points:
    weak brakes
    heavy
    unknown residuals
    unknown fuel consumption
    lots of expensive bodywork

    Judge had one, but it was the Beemer he had problems with.

    I went to look at his ZZR12 but was rather underwhelmed by it

    THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT WAS THAT HIS NEW BIKE WASN'T ANYWHERE NEAR AS
    SHINY AS HIS HEAD.

    And that's so true, I had to type it in capitals. [1]

    [1] and nothing to do with me leaving the caps lock key on then being
    too lazy to re-write, oh no.

  4. I'll say - I remember Judge failing to stop early enough at a red light,
    and soaring out into the middle of the intersecton.

    The Ducati had managed to pull up well in time :)

    I think that was 'go', not 'stop'.

    I think they look good from the front. Terrible from the rear to the side

    IIRC you were in front and stopped. I stopped and Judge sailed past
    the two of us.

    nearly as comical as the day I stopped at a junction so hear a
    *squeal* as WUN tried to stop. Apparently he'd been too busy watching
    my arse :)
