If you are goimg to get a r125, get one with a standard exhaust!!! They sound dreadful with an aftermarket.... Just listen to them on YouTube.
There's nicer models for a few quid more

All depends on budget. What insurance did you go throught to get a quote? Plus you can't de-restrict these bikes! Only go...

Yes, lending has opened up a lot in the last 4 weeks since the BoE did that big release.

Mangham, that is the normal process. We will never lend more than 5 x your basic annual. We certainly are not lending more than usual, however rates have dropped a fair bit, some nice 5 year fixed around atm.

Yah, but alas are a step backwards for our skills. Like working on a BTCC when you're used to F1!

Thought as much, will see if I can give that a go (ditched the car at the GF's place last night 150 miles away) so I'll have to talk her through it lol!! If not I'll have to wait until next weekend or pay a visit to Neil Garner. Cheers for the input :) Much appreciated.

No problem. If you get it back to yours and need any help just let me know :)

Would love to take you up on the offer but I don't think I'd fancy limping it home :( Very kind of you though mate. Will try a bleed, if not I'll get it into the local garage for a thermostat change and coolant flush. Fingers crossed it is that simple.
