Yes I agree mate, not the best time of year to be buying. We've missed 3 now at within his budget, I'll happily take him anywhere to pick one up but can only get there at weekends and by then it's gone!Soviet wrote:Hi Bud - I've got a CB1000R (not for sale!) and am a member of the owners forum - you're looking at up to £6k now (with summer coming) for a tricolour or Repsol jobbie with reasonable (low) miles on - the less popular colours (09/10) are about £5k with some mileage on them.
£4-4.5k will get you a high mileage 'other colour' requiring a little work / cleaning up.
You CAN get what you want for less, but you'll need to play a waiting game and be prepared to travel. It goes without saying that Autumn and Winter are the best hunting periods.

Keep looking and good luck - Private via Ebay is your best bet - you've a poorer chance via a bike shop...!

They wanted £200 to do the mudguard on my SPSMUDGER wrote:theres plenty of cb1000r out there localish from 4200-4500 just not repsol, dream machines do the repsol paint job £600 same people hunts use to paint there repsols, so in theory it be easier to get a decent one and get it painted so it would be really clean on paint

He's bikeless now so may consider something else, or may have to get something else. I've suggested some really good alternatives but just got looked at like I had two heads
