    Done it .......................

    Hi all,

    Have been thinking what to do with my bike for a while.  My Speed Triple it's nice, powerful, sounds gorgeous, but it just too heavy (for me).

    My initial thought has been to get a new 675 (out later this year).  But while on holiday Tuesday last week, I sat on a bike, which up until then I hadn't thought of getting.

    It was comfortable, roomy, looks stunning, yet still a good & fast sports bike.

    So have been looking since then for a good deal.  Think I now have it.

    Only 1984 miles, '05 registered, only probled is a small garage scrape on her wing mirror.  Other than that she's in perfect condition.

    She's not at a dealer, but a 2nd hand bike shop : Cooperb Motorcycles http://www.cooperbmotorcycles.co.uk/22462/cooperbmotorcycles.htm, so far I can't fault them.  The chappie (Ian) actually spoke to me !!!  For a female, going into a bike shop - that's a first !!  He's taking mine, with some money back to me,  he's even holding her for me,  as I still have to keep mine for the next few weeks.

    Here she is, went to see her today & deal done.

    Kwacky:
    that's a very low mileage bike.  I take it aside from the mirror the bike is like new?

    Completely - just like out of the box. 

    Strangely enough the previous owner happened to turn up, he's bought a 748 Ducati & wasn't really happy with it.  I signed the paperwork - quickly Wink

    I wanted a low mileage one, most have between 7,000 to 32,000 was the maximum I saw for sale.

    Coincidence - there's a woman on the daytona600.org forum with the username name of "scarlet". She's had a D6 since 2004.

    Cracking bike. And you're right. It is a nice balance between sports bike with power and handling but also being roomy and not to small. Looks like you found a nice bike. Hopefully the price is good too.

    Good buy Yes

     

    I think this forum is going to soon be taken over by D6 owners.

    Scarlet,

     

    Can I ask how much she was up for?

     

    I've seriously been considering a D6 again when I'm solvent enough. Am I just remembering mine with the old rose-tinted goggles on?
