probably cause it's either an import or a late registered. (just ask Monkey Knuckle)

Ah yeah, I remember the 600rr thread now, seem like dodgey fuckers. That's very cheap for a K7 600, especially when they have a K6 underneath it at £1000 more ha.

Think it might be a turd, but you'll have to ask Swifte to be sure.

I'm going to be very careful what I say here.

Friend of mine traded his bike (a CBR600) with 36,000 miles on it. A few weeks later, it was advertised for sale by Viva Moto with 22,000 miles on it.

Not saying any more than that.

Or it could have 113,559 miles, instead of 13,5k. Wink

Went to trade in a 58 plate gsxr 600, to a shop its rated at 4.000 quid even with only 600 miles on. Thumbs Down

Bought my RSV-R from them and no complaints here. Was cheap and no problems with service. They even rebuilt the rear shock for me before I bought it, not because I even pointed it out... THEY noticed it and said they'd do it before I bought it! Smile

. I got recommended to go there by a Suzuki main dealer in Bradford (forget the name now) because I was originally looking for a GSXR750 and they had one in at the same time as the RSV I eventually bought!
