    For your info,the bloke who has the Fiat Multipla on ebay for $32K,many years ago used to own a Dino 246GT.................................and HATED IT.
    He also had an XK120 Jag(that's how I got to know him...I was restoring one as well.)
    He's an extremely well known muso up here.

    Sounds like BS to me, anyone who says they hate a 246 has never owned one or is mental

    Have you tried Mick Hone?
    I service all my bike there, he mostly does Suzuki, but does service all bikes.

    He did the titanium exhaust on my BIMOTA SB6 many moons ago. Knows his stuff; but I doubt many (any?) people know about DCT trannies in bikes.

    Sell it before something breaks ;)

    I always just took my stuff back to Peter Stevens as they were around the corner from work.

    So you picked up the VRF I assume?

    Ooops, something like that.

    Very cool, remember you talking it up ages back.

    Considering an old ZX12R at the moment.

    Something different, always liked them and they're not that expensive.

    Maybe you should ride one before you buy it.

    They're a rocket, but it's going to feel very big and heavy compared to what you're used to.

    Yeah, definite weight difference.

    There's a high-ish mileage 2000 in Melbourne that I'm going to test, but there also a very nice looking 2005 up in Sydney that I have a friend checking out. So get the feel of the bike and make the decision whether I want one.

    It's either that or I wait awhile and just go without a bike.

    Duc isn't getting used enough and not enjoying as much as I was, time to let it go.

    EDIT: the one you posted is exactly the one I was going to have a look at, and I agree with offering a lower figure if it's good.

    I think I know why there's rain in Melbourne today. I'm going for a motor bike ride.
