yeah i checked ebay for a guide on the DR, they used to sell for about 650 but they seem to have gone up to about a grand, my mate got his bandit (in the pic on page 1) for 650, a T plate with no tax or test and needing a bit of work, the one i'm gonna look at tomorrow has tax and test till june next year, but is a P plate, apparently the forks seals are weaping but i have 2 mates who can service the forks. other than that it's i have been told (by the mutual friend) that it is a good bike and a good offer.
it seems pretty fair financially but i don't really know enough about motorbikes to know whether it's worth it.
