Phil

Thanks for being so open about the 12000DMs your 95 M -reg @ cost.

As a comparison, my 94 M reg cost 5000.00UKP, though it did already have
a Datatool alarm fitted and had brand new tyres and a Scott Oiler
chucked in by the dealer.

The dealer has since offered me my money back when I trade in against a
brand new @ which I'm doing in a few days.

However, the big question I have is how much extra did it cost you for :

1. Your trip to find the Bike

2. Your trip to bring the Bike back home

3. Currency exchange

4. To get it legally registered in the uK, including changing the
lights, registration etc etc ........

There is a lot of arguments whether buying the Bike outside the UK does
mean a saving so my Bike against yours is probably a fair comparison.
I'd have expected to pay a few 100UKP more for one of your age.

Just interested because terry is a mate of mine and he could always make
me an offer for my @.

Yours

Rob
BTW my Bike was in top condition with only 6000 miles on it when bought
