The opportunity has come up now to buy a 10 plate bike, but the 08 model so just before the big bang ones. I cant afford it until the end of this month, but when I get paid, the question is should i settle with the older model or wait and buy the big bang model next year? Im in a real dilemma as to whether to buy this or not now.
The bike is approx £7500, which I would normally put me off for the older model. But the main reason for the dilemma is that the bike is a finance repossession, the guy who bought it new apparently paid about £8-9k, did 1600 miles on it then spent a further £11k changing parts on it.
It really has had no expense spared. Rear shock worth over a grand, front forks same, all real carbon fibre bits, inc rear fairing, mudguard, hugger etc, arrow rearsets, wavy discs and uprated calipers apparently worth £600 each, tail tidy etc etc etc list goes on....
The bike still has only 1600 miles as the guy who had it, apparently never had the chance to use it before it got repossessed
Im in half a mind to buy it just to strip the bits and sell on, replace with standard bits and make some money out of it, or, is this a once in a blue moon opportunity to get all these mods/upgrades on the cheap???
nice looking and some choice bits fitted, if you don't like it, strip it of the bits and sell the lot off and you could buy a near new with change next year, can't see that happening though 
. Only worry would be if the previous owner has spare keys and finds it 
its nearly as sexy as my R1
