Go over there and ask for a test ride. I'm sure he'd love that. :P

That's a bit OTT isn't it? "test rides welcome". Pfft, I think not, how much would that instantly devalue it?

Maybe someone should go in with a cheeky offer of 10,499 (I can't make a pound symbol on my computer - we got rid of them in 1967).

That would leave plenty of room for negotiation.

Default Rothmans VF1000R

Hey:

Shadow I own one of those in the 86 Rothmans liverly longer than I owned My Canes. Since new, it was a bit of a disappointment as they ride well, have no real issues and the gear drive wine is cool, but they are heavy for what they are. I have a pic of mine still in stowage in my albums. She doesn't get ridden much and over the last few years I considered selling her more than once. But just can't seem to be able to part with her just yet. Maybe once I get my Fireblade back on the road. Then again who knows. Your cane is a much better bike in every way but when I do ride it I always get asked if it is a new model and that makes me laugh.

Looks like you've been doing some heavy breathing on the camera lens there Pete, it's all steamed-up!
