Not much response to a question I posed mid thread, so excuse me if you've already read it and had nothing to say: New or pre-registered? K750S RRP £5500 Options: 1) Brand new, unregistered 06 bike from a local dealer for £4700 with first service free and a promise of doing a good deal on new helmet/jacket which I happen to want (will also deliver for free if the weather is crap). Total cost (inc. 1st service) £4700 - but I might save £100 on the other gear too. 2) Brand new, pre-registered (yesterday!) 05 bike on a 55 plate from a dealer 100+ miles away for £4000 (will cost me £200 to have delivered or a train ticket (£50) and 5 hours of my time, probably in the wet on the way home)? Total cost, (inc. 1st service) £4100 - £4300 The only disadvantages I can see with pre-registered is that I am the 2nd owner, and the insurance company might not stump up for another brand new one if I write it off in the first 12 months. Is £500 (almost 10%) money well spent with a local dealer for a truly new bike, or am I better going with an order over the phone on the pre-registered one?
