It's not bad, quite healthy i think! Yeah man, got all my training for my A2 done booking it all for this week >:) you thought about doing you're test yet pal?
Good man, in all fairness from what i'm seeing it's not as hard as i initially thought it would be! or as expensive i think it's going to set me back around £300 well worth it if you ask me
That looks really clean mate, Is it low mileage and pretty original? Appears to be in good condition for a 15 year old bike! It wouldn't be my cup of tea for the road as I seem to have gone off sports bikes over the years, prefer street bikes these days. I always use to be into my sports bikes but I think now I know that I'm not Carl Fogarty (remember Him) or Valentino Rossi so I prefer to be comfortable rather than all hunched over with your legs tucked up under you. Not that I've ever had one mind, just the bikes I've lusted after have changed over the years, it used to be Ducati 916, Fireblade, Bimota SB7 (look them up), RC45, GSXR's etc, nowadays it's Ducati Monsters, KTM Superduke, Ducati Streetfighter etc. I think everyone has to have their superbike phase. I do fancy getting one for the track one day though, a few of my mates have 600's, 750's and 900's that they do track days on. They don't use them for much else, maybe a few sunny Sunday rides. Wouldn't mind getting one for a couple of summers of track day fun, at least that way you can ride them the way they're built to be ridden in relative safety!

Is that bits of piston ring firing out your tailpipe?
Yes mate, credit to the previous owner it's in mint condition! erm think im at 19k miles which for the years i'd say thats not too bad! my 05 DT was at 20k, only non stock thing is the screen and carbon fibre pipe and the bolts / spray job really! i know what you mean dude i'm not looking forward to being hunched over as i'm pretty tall aswell so its gunna ruin my back haha, i'm a huge duke fan myself expecially the 748's for some reason? i guess i got tired of not having major overtaking power on the DT and needed a little more UMPH in the form of a superbike haha! love to get into trackday's myself as it does help improve roadcraft aswell!
Ahh **** man! i got quoted ridiculous on mine but somehow my brother managed to get it down to like £500? not sure how tho, i'll find out for you mate!
Alright mate basically, as far as i can tell just keep the pillion part unticked on the price checkers and you should be fine! i used gocompare mate. just double checked 531 for the year legal cover, no excess or voluntary so it's bang on mate thats fully comp too on my gixxer :D
