the guy who sells the race reps is giving me an R reg tomorrow, basically because the P reg i was gonna buy is fucked, due to the fact ive been waiting a few days he said he'd give me the R reg for the same price..

Not too sure on the year on the R reg, just out of interest, I don't suppose this guy told you that there were any problems with the P reg that you were going to buy? Just sounds to me as if he's a bit dodgy........? Confused

Yeah as Mike says it does sound a bit dodgy...I would go over that bike with a fine tooth comb if it was me,are you getting any warranty with it?

yeah he did, he said the carb is messed up and it needs to be repaired, its from a reputable site, that a lot of people on the 125sportsbike forum use, he said i can either wait til tuesday for the P reg, or he'll send me pictures of an R reg in the morning, and if i want it he'll deliver it..

quite bored now as i was expecting new bike today Sad

Well in the end it's up to on what you do, personally I wouldn't really like the sounds of a bike that he's been having problems with that he's trying to sell you unless, he's totally willing to get a mechanic to check it over and there's a good warranty with it! But just don't let you impatience get in the way of gettin a work biking without any problems! Razz

R reg is '97/98, my Piaggio is a 97/R registration.

ah okay, will i pay much more on insurance for a 1998 model, than a 97?

JonB · Afraid of Mileage Joined: 03 Jun 2004 Karma :

Probably less I expect.

This is due to it being newer a little less chance of it going wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong mind.

Thanks.

Care to explain why it is cheaper if it is older then? Smile

older bikes are generally worth less, and less desirable - ergo cost less to insure.

but since there is only a year in this case the insurance difference will be minimal if any.

The insurance is generally based on the price you declare the bike to be worth when taking out the policy. That's why older bikes are generally cheaper to insure, worth less. If you declare the same price it should more or less be the same price to insure.

For some reason colour can affect prices on the RS's of that year, the Chesterfield colours were more expensive. I think that was down to the number of thefts at the time though, seems thieves liked the Chesterfields.

I had a silver one on a 97 P, never missed a beat, even with me riding it! Wink

Edit: damn he beat me to it and he was supposed to be having a shower! Not that I'm there watching or anything. Very Happy
