Did I book a test ride? Nope scared to. My 800's not a year old yet.

I threw a leg over one yesterday and it's notcably lighter than my 08 bike. Quite nice actually. I did say I'd be back for a test ride and I probably will. Not sure I can go with the 16K price tag (Including the obligatory three alloy boxes) especially as I have only ever bought a new bike once before an that was 6K for a varadero.

Rubberchicken said:Two new cheap cars, that is.
But, yeah. 2k GS here. Well, at the menders. I can't imagine spending 23k euro on a new bike either.
And it's fekkin monstrous.![]()
Lord Vader said:Yes true its a shedload of money and yes you could have 2 or more bikes for the same money. The way we(as the bike gets used a lot 2up) see it its our hobby/lifestyle and we are now nearly kids free and are able next year to afford one. While we are still fit enough to climb onto a bike and we sort of can afford it why not go for a new bike(well second hand new).
If the new GSA is shit and i dont like it i sell it and go for something else

Hi Pete, no ones knocking the reason for anyone spending that on a bike. If the sums work for you then go for it bud.
For me (obviously others) 16k is an unimaginablely eye watering amount of cash for a bike be it
If I sold all four bikes, I'd still have to find well over 7k!
The van, oh yes.
I once bought an Escort van for a tenner [emoji6]
