    I've seen that exact bike mate, and a couple of others almost same price, I think they look great. But as I've said there's also a couple of 2009s in as good or even better condition with all the fancy and in fact useful goodies for only £400 more! Can't understand why such a small price difference. If there was a difference of say, £700-1000 I'd just go straight for the rr6/7. Might be having a test ride on a 2007 today.

    You weren't knocked out by the 2012 bike then?

    Nearly went nuts and bought a 2009/10 but came to my senses luckily and saved myself about £2-3k. Can't wait to get on it.

    Do yourself a big favour and book in at your local suspension specialist to get it set up properly for you ! Best and cheapest mod you'll do mate !!

    I did exactly that with my R1 some months ago, I'll do the same with this one too. You're right it is worth it.

    Played about with suspension on most of my bikes but it really is a skilled job to understand wtf you're doing if you do more than very small adjustments.
