OK, i'm debating a swap deal.... thoughts and ideas please ? Well as you know, my bike is up for sale, but i've not even had any worms on there... let alone a decent bite... So some guy approached me and offered me his R1... 2001 model reg'd in 2002. Straight swap... couple of blemishes, but no more than on mine already. So the main logic on the bike sale is 'money'... the money would go toward a deposit for the house... "how does swapping it help then" i hear you cry... Well servicing costs is pretty much the only answer for that one... I had a belts etc swap from Nelly in Feb, so it's going to need the same again end of this year and then a 12k at end of next... R1 i can pretty much do myself... So using that logic i can save ITRO £1000 more for the house over next 18 months.... The R1 is going to cost me £190 to swap insurance, but for that i get a 12 months policy (6 months left currently).. Thoughts then guys ? |
