Hi guys,

I must confess I do not own the xb9r yet!
Am hoping to have one asap though.

I've ridden bikes for years, all sorts from z1, vespa, vfr, gsxr - quite a few others!

What should I look out for if I go to look at a xb9r? Are there any key things to check?
Think I may have found one but it's an import - any major differences?

Thanks

Where are you located? If you are near Bristol you are welcome for a tea and a chat...
