Ok cheers for the info. I'm just on the lookout for a low mileage 05 ZX10R and they have one in at the moment.

if you like it.. then just ask lots of questions about the bike ..if its low mileage on the clock ? do all the old m.o.t's show this ? or as it only got its latest m.o.t ? and you could ask them if its ok to have a good long test ride instead of the once round the block job .
and it should have at least 3 months warranty ? and what it will cover
but i hope its all good for you mate

Test rides from a lot of these sort of places will not really be possible as I live a fair distance away and simply dont have a lot of time to go that far in a day. I'll keep checking online what comes up on dealers websites, i'm sure i'll find something suitable soon enough.

After a year and a half on the Z1000, despite enjoying the bike I'm finding myself missing the buzz i used to get from the ten so want another one

Anybody know what SP Motorcycles in Exeter are like? good, bad or indifferent?
