    Look at it this way.... do you want to enjoy life, or be the richest cadaver in the cemetary?

    Dont be so sure,get a price to swap on both bikes,take it away mull it over awhile,if the 750 isnt way outta the realms of possiblity then ring them back and let them know thats the one you prefer but $s the problem,tell them you are thinking of panning the whole thing and waiting awhile to save some more $ if the salesman is worth his salt he will ask what the difference figure needs to be to have you buy the 750,he probably wont like your answer but he may well come back with a cracker deal that you just have to take,who knows.They sell a unit you get a great deal.In my years selling both cars and bikes ive seen some pretty sweet deals done when the pressures on.Never forget that your in the drivers seat,you have money and they want it,they have a bike which they dont want,they need you to have it.Simple.

    Not to state the obvious, but I do'nt suppose there is one just as nice elsewhere for a few bob cheaper? (it has'nt seemed to come up) Why is this particular one so special?

    Agreed, if the budget is there for it, the 750 is by far the best balanced bike I have ever owned. Just awesome. Maybe consider a used model a few years old or so Slofox?

    I'm gonna play to boring card and say wait for a little while and save your pennies.

    As it's been said you have a nice working bike at the moment so enjoy it while you save.

    But you do only live once.....do as you will, it's your fucknig money!

    What are you up to huh? Posting at 4.16am in the morning?

    Lick all the lollies? Yeah - that sounds like me - totally self indulgent. Which is probably why I'm not a rich bugger...
