I think if I were you, I'd get shot and put it down to experience. I don't think you will ever be happy with this bike.
Kinda just thinking aloud really.
Thats about the just of it Nick i think.......& to top it off since buying it i keep seeing much cleaner FZ1 coming up for sale at the same money......thats what happens with buying and selling & id much rather stick to dealer approved ie something a year old with some come back.
Some of the things are just not the type of things you notice when going for a test ride or giving the bike a look over, crack underneath, cracks behind plastics......i mean who thinks of opening up the fuel filler when buying a bike?.........equally they'll also be not instantly obvious to a stealer either so thats the way ill likely go.
There could be some truth in what Lew says about trading in during the quiet season but i've got to sort out the starting problem because that will be a big deal breaker if the bloody thing doesnt start during a trade in so i need to get to that pronto going through all the connectors until it is resolved.
In the meantime if anyone wants to present me £2500 for it then thats still a bit of cheap fun for somebody if they arent arsed about the little niggles.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
