Any news Debs?

Baby has going/gone. Traded her in for a 10 plate Metallic Magnesium with 19k on the clock.

Debs, that's sad in one respect as we know you have numerous fond memories of trips on her however I assume it was going to be an expensive repair. I still miss my black 07 GTR but I like my magnesium GTR also.

You may not agree, but long term, you've probably done the right thing.

Welcome to the magnesium club.  :mfr_lol: Now standby for all the jokes about it being brown, I expect you to fight your corner.  :wink:

Yes Steve it was going to be expensive. Both bearings on the drive shaft had gone and the gearing had also been damaged. The total cost of repair with Labour fixed at 6 hours was going to be £1200, plus it was also due a service in 500 miles. So that would have been another few hundred.

BK gave me a good deal AND they are transferring ALL my extras over to the newer one.

So they are keeping baby and going to get it repaired. Im getting the reg transferred over before I pick her up.. Will be in the next 2 weeks.

It was a hard decision to make. I did look at this 10 plate one when I took baby in.. I always thought it looked like a brown, but close up it does look really nice..

It has full Kawasaki Service and BK are going to give it a full service before I collect it.


Lonewolf

Sounds like you did get a good deal then.  :clap:

O.C.

A bitter sweet moment then Debs, I'm sure that you will love the new bike, and that it'll make a great successor to your 'baby', at least you'll have all the accessories and farkels transferred so the new bike won't be a complete stranger ..........even though it is BROWN :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: 
BE KIND...

don't worry - in the right sunlight it looks red - and I still love the colour after 3 years!

Sad about her though......
