I am looking at a few on eBay and have also looked on Biketrader.

It has to be a MK3 as I doubt I could find a MK4 that fits my maximum limit of £4800. This limit has to include any work that needs doing, and things like Dr Pulleys, Brisks, etc. So my limit might actually be £4700... if it needs new tyres my limit would be £4450...

I would prefer mileage of no greater than 15k and as young as possible, there are some of these available on the above sites right now.

I am just itching to spend the money I won't have until end of next week :D

So where else can I look as I have never really had to shop around before?

But I wouldn't like to wander round that area with that much cash in my pocket

Wouldn't bother me :D

That is one of the ones I am hoping to view if its still available, I just need to get back the ability to 'kneel down' so I can check a few areas easily before making an offer.

If I can get an insurance company to pay out over what I have insured my scoot for I am looking forward to paying less than listed price :D

£400 and free shipping for a full body kit from China, I wonder how good that is... it would have made buy back worth it.

I used to have a beer with a couple of lads who did some cbr600 club trackdays, and they used to go through some fairing panels, the chinese cheap ones were bought because they were replaced often, and their verdict was 'total shite'. cheapo thin and didnt fit very well.

Figured as much... but if I bought and fitted it to the old one it would have been sellable and I could have made money on it and increased my fund for a new one :D
