Slightly annoying

He's a tease, isn't he?

I think the problem is that some (me included) can't really see where
the "rip-off" comes from. He offered you some money, you decided it
wasn't enough, no deal was done.

Oh yes, I do know but the tone of your post was a bit sniffy, you know.
Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but to me it felt like I was
being sniffed out for a mug punter.

 

Yay!!

 

as Dan pointed out, it's irrelevant really - he'll only stick about 500
miles on whatever it is in 3 years of ownership...

 

Hint. It's in his sig.

Kiran

 

Eh? He already had the CCM didn't he?

 

But.. how is it fraud? He didn't buy it off you with a rubber cheque. He
didn't give you fake money. He didn't buy it from you and then sell it for
£4k - he just offered you a price, you refused it - he said "Oh, I can't go
any higher, I won't make enough profit from the sale as I'm a dealer"

What's wrong with that? Why is it a big deal? The next bloke who offers you
£3200 could also be a dealer - you won't know.


Like the title to the post says "slightly annoying" so it's

But why? What difference would it make?

 

what, he's buying another Mille or another CCM?

 

Oh, just **** off ;-)

 

tee-hee

 

Why do you even bother though?

 

Oops, need to add an extra letter

The former

 

For sure, but the current RSVR is the replacement for the old RSV,
right? and the RSV Factory replaces the ols RSVR, I think. Italian
logic for you.

At least the dials on this don't look like they've come from a Montego.

Kiran

 

And to think he was only slightly annoyed when he started it.

 

Yes, yet again I've gone for the cheapie one ...

Ohlins are gay anyway

 

at least you're consistent.

I can't really understand it myself, buying two the same one after
another. Or is it just that you liked it, but didn't want an italian
bike out of warranty?

 

The italian bike out of warranty thing weighed heavily, particularly after
the electrical shenanigans.

Much as I liked the GSXR750, it was a bit weedy low-down. Much as Kiran's
thou was a blinding bike, the RSV's way cooler. And anyway, porl's got one


This is all pending a test ride, for what that's going to be worth in South
London, but the 04 Mille's pretty much a different bike from the ground up
(new engine, frame, fairing ...)

The seat's a lot lower too, so you having a go on it might not require a
stepladder

 

good reason not to have one. Clearly, Gixer thous are for know-nothing
poseurs.

make sure you pull a decent minger whilst getting your knee down on the
Chiswick Roundabout.

cool. I'm still toying with the idea of buying an unreliable Italian
v-twin myself.

good to see badge engineering is still alive and well.

 

Bear says...

That's my take on it.

When I buy bikes privately I always, without exception, play cheeky and
offer just below trade prices. The seller has the choice not to sell,
it's not like someone's holding a gun to their head.
