Thanks for all your help folks, especially Mr C for doing the hpi check. Another example of why this club is so great.

Sadly, the bike wasn't all it was cracked up to be, so didn't buy in the end.

what was wrong with it mate?

[Wylie1]

It was philthy dirty (generally didn't look very well looked after, especially considering it's for sale), paintwork had quite a few little scratches & chips in, front rocker cover & rads were in quite a state, Termi assy' can was still using the original front link pipe with the CAT in, but worst of all the front wheel rim had had a repair done (& not very well at that). Shame

Nevermind mate, at least you had the sense to walk away.

Another one will pop up soon enough, with all these early adopters jumping on the 1098 bandwagon!
