You have a knack for finding really nice bikes Lanny. You could start a bike search business. Client tells you how much they have to spend and you do the searching for a fee.

Cat D shouldn`t put you off. As long as you are happy with the bike as it stands why not go for it. The only real time it will come in to play is if you want to part ex it to a dealer at a later date as they probably wont touch it. :wink:

Just done HPI on it and it is a cat D. I agree with you in regards to re sale, its a tough call, I 'll shove an offer at him me thinks. The other concern is insuring it ? :think:

Shouldn't have any issue insuring a cat c or d only way it affects the insurance is if u claim on the policy they won't pay out as much as a non category bike
