Valuation/evaluation foak - Flitwick m/cs - ping Lozzo/TOG

#1 son is very keen on getting himself a CBR600. (First real bike). He's
off to look at this today:
http://www.flitwickmotorcycles.co.uk/Honda-CBR600-FS-521.html

He thinks it's priced too high (cf:
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1103089.htm)

But one is a dealer vs. private.

What say the foak? FM are an ok dealer are they not? What would a
sensible offer be? Anyone in the area could look it over for me?

TIA

 

Very highly recommended. They did a great job on my Sprint.

And Pip is just over the road IIRC

Regardless of how good a dealer FM are, that looks wildly overpriced.
Have a look on biketrader, there's 2-3 year newer models with similar
mileage for the same price, or an '04 with 6k miles for 3k, all from
dealers.

 

They are good. They are also expensive.

We moved;-)> Still less than 10 minutes away and can look at it if
nobody else fancies a crack. From previous experience of FM, their used
stock is good quality and their warranties hold water too - that's what
you pay over the odds for, I guess.

 

Bit excessive? I only came round once

stupidly overpriced.

You could get a proper bike from that year for less money, if you
looked around.

 

He can have my CBR600RR for £3000 if he wants.
It's an 06 with 16.5 K miles full main dealer serviced 1 years MOT 1
years tax.

 

I would be remiss if I'm trying to sell my bike in not pointing you at
some photos.

If interested my email address is donald at easy (with a "d" in front)
dot co dot uk.

 

Your son should grab that offer from Donald with both hands Simon. We all
saw the bike in May. It's clean and straight, never thrashed with a pipe
and slippers owner.

PS. D did you get yourself sorted out for Chimay.

 

Thanks for the offer. Looks nice. Apparently he'd love an RR, but says
the insurance is 2x more for him (I think already > 600 notes). He's got
a 50 mile each way commute and thinks it might not be right for that too.

Unable to make it. Family gathering to scatter my mums ashes that weekend.

 

Ouch on the insurance front.

It's got a double bubble screen which helps. Most I've done on one day
was about 600 miles. Pithivier to Calais 270 miles then Dover to York
295 miles. Not sure if I would recommend it for a 100 mile a day commute
though.

 

A very sensible policy, if I may say so.

 

HOW FUCKING MUCH????

 

Again ukrm reaches consensus.

#1 son went to look at it. Apparently they've had it in stock a while.
Wouldn't budge on the price.

 

FM is my dealer of choice. I'll be popping in there over the weekend
(maybe tomorrow) and I'll try and get Saul to give me some real
details about it iyswim.

I'm prolly not the best bike reviewer though.

It does make me wonder if there is a connection between this...

.... and that.

 

Si, you should have mail.
