My New Bike - Latest Updates

[Cptn. Awesome]

Went to 20/20 Motorcycles in Chester-le-Street last night to have a look at a Kawasaki ZX6R for £2995. I think it's the B1H model, on an 03 plate with 17k on the clock. It has and ART can fitted and it's getting a full service, had the CCT done and it's getting a new chain and sprockets fitted before I pick it up...well, provided the finance agreement goes through (I do have a spotless credit record).

I am so excited, it's my first big bike (proper big bike, I don't really count the VFR400 as a big bike). It's immaculate and...it's green, the only true colour for a Kawasaki IMO.

I couldn't help myself but tell everyone because I'm so excited. It's my dream bike.

They are badass mate, good buy at that price too.

My brother had a B1, sounded mint and went like a spanked cat!

Thats a good price for a dealer. I paid £3600 for mine on a 04 plate.

It did have 7k miles though with Akra can, braided hoses all round, seat cowl, tinted screen, power commander, tail tidy and fsh.

This is over 2 years ago now

Sold it for £3100 with 11k miles on it privately to a guy who shipped it abroad this time last year.

Fantastic bikes though, good choice!

New motorcycles prices have gone up a decent chunk - in two years the KTM I got new now costs £1200 (20%!) more than when I got it - which has made me feel a bit better about buying new then!

Obviously this is going to have a general knock-on effect on second hand prices to.

Oh and quite a few years ago now Danny got a low mileage B1H with extra for £3700 I think, to me £3k would seem a bit expensive based on that.

They're a good bunch at 20/20, I get my bike serviced there

Prices are cheaper than anywhere up Westagate Road for servicing costs and the lad who does the servicing is really good at making sure the bike leaves in the best condition possible, he has a very good reputation AFAIK

Hi

Yep, but equivalent to a third less than what Danny paid (not sure if Danny bought his from a dealer though).

All the best

That's a nice example but faulty 2nd gear, you looking at a new gearbox or can it be fixed? How much would it cost to sort it?
