Enjoy the site mate, lots of good info and lots of mad peeps a swell!

[turnpike500]

cheers everyone, thanks for the the friendly welcome. found a 2005 with 2900 miles for 4995 english pounds what do you guys think? is that a good price?

[roy]

all depends ....on condition ..has it been looked after ..has it got lots of trick bits ..or is it in standard condition.

for that money it should be mint  but ther are some real nice ones for less money

[turnpike500]

well it hasnt got a steering damper and has inch chicken strips so looks like some pussy has had it, pretty much standard, i think its a touch dear but not much choice in low mileage 05s at the min, want something really low miles to keep for a few years. havnt even ridden one yet just waiting for a dry day for a test flight, had a 7r for 3 years and loved it hoping for same kind of feel from the 10.

[roy]

then hold on to your pants then mate .....cos the 10 is lighter much faster 

[turnpike500]

ha ha, ive got a firm hold!! had the r1 for 2 years since though mr, hoping the 10r is as daft as everyone says to be honest!!

[roy]

your either love it or hate it mate . if you get to test ride one try to go for moor than 5 min ride if you can . just so you get settled on it . 5 mins tells you f all.

unless its a right dog . if so walk away .

[turnpike500]

cheers for the advice, will be gutted if i dont get on with it cause wanted one since 1st laid my eyes on it all them years ago!! defo need a test ride i know,made that mistake with the r1 after the 7r, just to find the suspension was filled with some kind of soft cheese!!
