Hey Guys,

Thank you so much to you all for the replies!! You've been a great help with advice on these machines, it's also great that some of you are so local, could be good.....

Well, this morning the dealer emails me and asks if I've made a decision etc, I email back saying that it's a little on the expensive side for a phase 1 and has only had basic servicing so far but I like the bike and am thinking of a potential deal to put forward.....

Come back to an email saying the bikes now sold :-(

Best Wishes

Hi Paul,

No I don't mind at all, the more advice on these bikes the better and always good to build knowledge.

I'm in the Huntingdon area, what about you mate?

Best wishes

Hi Wookie,

I'm on the edge of going for it in one some respects, just never brought unseen.

He quoted 109 quid to fit heated grips and 300+ to do Tom Tom nav.

Wookie - what would be your thoughts on replacing the battery, At 7 years old and sub 7000 it's clearly sat around a lot, would you have a new battery fitted for piece of mind? Or just run it until it starts playing up? It's been through workshop so surely battery checked..

Hi Guys,

All great replies and advice, thank you!

Now had a chance to speak to the sales guy, all pretty much as I've said before, all in A1 condition apart from a scuff mark on the top of one of the panniers - probably a boot Mark, getting on/off. Service completed was a basic oil service as it was all it required - I'd have to sort that.
Not much manoeuvre on price so I'll have a think what to do and maybe try again.
Cheers

Thanks OC

Again a nice welcome and great information which will be a great help in my search!

I know what you mean about pre-sale servicing, had this before at various dealers where it's just an oil and filter change....

Appreciate what you say about premium price, how far above in your opinion is it above where it should be?

Cheers

Thanks BigAlan,

You certainly know these machines, impressed with your attention and care to yours!

I am incredibly fussy with my bikes, maintaining them and cleaning to the hills!! I'll certainly ask all the question and IF I do go for it I'll be looking to get it to this sort of standard. Your information is genuinely appreciated.

Thanks again

Hi BigAlan,

Thanks for the reply.

It looks immaculate, it's up for £6,890, apparently the owner literally sold it due to lack of use. The dealer described it as pristine.
I've not negotiated on price (salesman I've spoken to previously was off today) but I'll ask about the those fluids being changed, I'm always wary when dealers say they'll service it before sale as I instantly think oil/filter only.....

Cheers

Evening Everyone,

I've seen a 2009 GTR for sale at Jordan Motorcycles in Yorkshire.

Seems immaculate on the Advert and through speaking to the dealer via email, need to ask some further questions. It's over 100 miles from me so not seen it in the flesh, Does anyone know
NV09 JYD.....two owner machine, 6800 miles.
Anyone any advice on what to look for/ask.

Cheers
