    Hi,

    Looking into buying a Ex demo bike early next year - noticed Repsol ex demo can be bought for near 10K (inc vat)

    Hoping to keep the bike for 5 + years.

    I was thinking to maybe get the SP, however cant seem to see any ex demo sp's out there...Do these exist?

    The SP is £15000, and wondering if its worth the extra £5000?

    Never bought a bike from a dealer before - is there any ways of getting good deals? or would they all sell @ the same price?

    Spoke to a dealer - they said they dont use SP's as the bike cost more, but it maybe possible however they cant sell for 6 months after first use.

    Thanks

    Think I saw an SP demonstrator at PH in Crawley at the weekend. Worth a call to see when they want rid.

    Found you can pick up a new 0 mile SP for £10k (inc 19% vat) in Germany..

    looking at import costs - anyone know if there are any disadvantages to importing in?

    Headlight conversion will add a few hundred to that at least then UK first reg (whats that about £150?). Are euro bikes still down on power too?

    There's a 14 plate one owner SP tri-colour with 800 odd miles in the market place on here for £12000

    looking for a near new one with VAT & a Repsol ;-) I have a thing for orange lol

    How low on power are the euro bikes, surely a limiter of some sort that can be removed? would i really notice the power difference on the road?

    Jesus that's dear , you should a screwed Matt for more discount. Maidstone Honda have a 15 plate repsol blade with abs and 900 miles on for 11k . Prob get discount off that and has 2 yr warranty. Got my brand spanker repsol with abs 1st March from there for 10.7k when they were 12k at the time for a repsol

    I'd have had the sp if he offered you one for 13.5

    Riding position? Is it not the same as a non sp?

    I thought sp is just brakes, suspension and afew other bits over the standard?
