Hello all. Newbie here. Drinks are on me. I'm having a Black Russian, what'll it be?
I've decided to buy a BB, after my R1100S BMW was stolen in November.
Test rode a Ducati ST3 at P and H Motorcycles in Crawley on Saturday, and sort of liked it . . . then spied a 2000 red BB all prepped for a Fast Bikes test this week waiting in the show room. Dealer let me out on it without a fuss, and boy oh boy was I impressed. Blew the Duke into the bullrushes.
However, my requirements are somewhat specific . . .
I spoke to Carole Nash, and it seems the insurance sky rockets for me from a 2002 model onwards. However, I would like the newer model with the digi clocks and bigger screen etc. My insurance pay out is ?5,150.
So, I am after a late 2001, with under 10K on the clock, in red or black. Don't like blue. Am I right in understanding that the newer model came out in 2001, and that I could get a "51" plate of the newer bike?
I have been checking a few Honda sites, and looking on Auto Trader but with no luck so far.
Anyone know where I might be able to find the right bike? Which are the best places to buy?
I am in West Sussex BTW.
Also - quite encouraged to see such a good owner's site. Always a big bonus.
