Donate – Or Imperial Data will have you sorted!April 22, 2005 at 7:14 am #26206DiggerParticipantIf I had the money I`d buy new but,If you buy secondhand from a reputal dealer and the bike has all the service history,book stamped the lot,then your sure in for a good bike that can save you thousands but be just as good as a new one,plus you dont have to run it in.
Take it easy out there
April 22, 2005 at 7:20 am #26207ScouserParticipantOnly bought a 250N superdream new, all my other bikes have been used. As Digger says, good SH and condition, but you do wonder has the bike been treated well?

And our bike couldnt have been throttled that much cause we got it from a guy from the Isle of Wight and its almost impossible to get any speed up, over there. The trouble is with buying new its all that tax you have to fork out, and then you got to run it in, not to mention how much value the bike goes down just after a year. But then if I had loads of wedge, I would consider buying new.

To “ERR” is natural.. to really fowl things up needs a politician!!

April 22, 2005 at 11:07 pm #26211ThumperParticipantBring on the bargain old bikes, I love ’em. [I’ve lost thousands on a new bike – and it hurts!]
I find myself dribbling over the Used Bike Guide, looking at all the bikes I used to just dream of that have subsequently become very affordable – Talk about a kid in a sweet shop!
I’m not frightened of tidying them up either – having a tinker around with them is a nice hobby.Am I the really only saddo that buys an AutoTrader now & then because it’s a good read !?![]
