    Going to pop into Farnham Honda tomorrow for a gander. Must leave credit & debit cards at home, along with developing an inability to sign paperwork!

    I joked with the salesman that I spoke to this afternoon about that!

    I explained that I'm not up for buying a Fireblade now, but may possibly be ready next year. Accepting that things will change, he gave me part exchange values for my two bikes. TBH, the value of the Hornet was what I was expecting, but the value for my Speed Triple was less than I'd hoped, given that it's practically a brand new bike (only 1300 miles from new).

    Am considering getting the Hornet serviced this month and then selling it, which would force me to use the Speed Triple more (I don't use it enough through an irrational desire to keep it new - yet when I do ride it, I'm totally :biggrin1:). In the spring next year I can consider my options (new 2012 model Blade, 'old' model Blade or something else entirely).

    Have to say, that TT Legends special that they have for sale is totally :wub: - more than I want to spend though, certainly new! Everything I spend on the bikes isn't offsetting my mortgage and I do have a Mr Sensible hat at times!

    Let that be your best and only reason to keep it.
