Of course. But I'm not trying to 'do a deal', just want to make sue that when I go to collect the bike there isn't anything obviously wrong with it and that if the tyres are not satisfactory (and frankly even there I'm not entirely sure how to judge) or if it's making any funny noises, Skids will spot it in a flash whereas I would just hand over the money.

I'm not looking for a reduction in price. I'm looking to get what I'm paying for, which I have been assured will be 'a very good clean bike in excellent condition and by far the best one Steve has for the money I want to spend, and in fact the one Steve himself would buy if he was buying one'(does that all sound like used bike salesman speak and I'm just being too trusting )

Point is, I know I am probably paying over the odds but then it's a dealership selling it to me and when I want to chop it in I shall go back there and make them eat there words if they sell me a dud. Also, in case you haven't noticed, me and Timmy M are best mates now so Steve won't want to upset me.
