[QUOTE] [QUOTE="darsy"] Although I'm fairly set on buying Zymurgy's 12R, I was having a bit of a poke around to see what I might be able to buy for the spare cash I have + my LC4 as a trade in. And I was specifically looking at litrebikes.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] It seems that for a given year, on average ZX-10Rs are about 15%[1] cheaper than the equivalent R1 or GSXR thou - any thoughts on why this might be the case?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [1] typically £5K will buy a '05 10R but only an '03 or '04 R1. Similarly, an '05 Gixer Thou will cost around £5750.[/QUOTE] Why not take a look at Ash's R1. 06 model but with 17k miles - seems fairly mint though. That's sitting at £4600 with 3 days to go. I can't see it going much over £5k but suppose some Europeans might bid it higher.[/QUOTE] well, apart from the fact I've no interest in owning an R1, your plan is perfect!
