    Thanks for all your help guys

    seems like my best bet is to go with what feels right for me.

    Unless there is a big discount, 3,000+ks worry me abit.

    I see the point that it is not too may riders to get to that number, I think I would prefer to pay the extra and get on "out of the box"

    Unless the money was right <----- cheap Scottish bastard lurks with in me

    The thing about ex demo bikes is they are a little like having an ex prostitute as a girlfriend.

    You have to live with the certain knowledge that hundreds of blokes before you have screwed the arse off of them, and there is every chance that their big end might drop out and cause you a world of hurt.

    In short check everything, its first rego should be 2006 and it should have all the same benefits as a brand spanking new model, thats why your paying so close to new for it in the first place

    I thought you'd be considering throwing it in the bushes after 3000Ks

    3000 is normal for a demo bike, I wouldn't worry about it so long as you still get the factory warranty

    I reckon the best way to run in an engine is by raping it.
