Local dealer's got a 2005 55 plate blue 900 with 100 miles on the clock for £4399. Claim it was registered for a customer but never collected. Is it me or does that seem pretty cheap for an essentially new bike from a dealers?

If you look around you can get pre-registered or last-year's models with full warranty for 5 to 5.5 k. And given the non-development on the TDM over the last few years, all new TDMs are more or less "last season's" 
. I'd be slighlty worried to buy a bike that hasn't turned a wheel for two years, you may be looking at annoying things like cloughed up injectors, dried out gaskets, dodgy tyres and dead battery.

the ad also mentions "Existing Manufacturer Warranty" which to me sounds like it could expire in a few weeks time ! tink i'd rather buy a bike that had a few thousand on the clock fer less money.

Hi Wicky
I fancy getting something smaller, maybe even a scooter!
The bikes excellent most of the time but I find it hard work sometimes when manouvering & parking. I know sooner or later I'm going to drop it.
I'll keep it advertised for a few more weeks & if it doesn't go I'll keep it.
As an aside, I'll test your local knowledge.
Do you know the pub in the picture?
It's in South Devon somewhere.
We were there in early May & just happened to stop outside & met the owner (on the left) who rides an 800 BMW.
He was in the final week of renovating it ( the pub, not the BMW).
Can't for the life of me remember where it was.
Any idea?
Cheers,
Les

Thanks for suggestion Daplep. How did you manage to get the pub name, you must have better eyes than me.
Unfortunately It definately wasn't Woolacombe. It must have been somewhere vagually (very) between Tiverton & Dartmouth.
Also just to make it harder, the owner intended to rename it.
Thanks anyway.
Any more offers?

He invited us to the opening the following week but we were back home by then.

See that Infinity symbol and name behind the bike
Good
Remember it
And now remember to never never ever ever think about giving ANY of your money to them for a vehicle, be it 2 wheel or 4.

Ok they can do you a good price, but as noted on another thread u WILL pay for it
If you decide to buy a bike from them ensure they do not build it outta the crate (no really)
Get your new still crated bike delivered to your house / your local independant guy / anywhere u trust the monkeys
build the bike / get it built outta the crate
PDI
roadtest
register etc
enjoy
Trust me on this, they are THAT bad
