Have that one already top of my list of 5 TMax's that I would consider, but right now my left knee is still very weak and I am waiting for the money to come through.

I have two TMax's I am looking at, the one horobags posted above and one that has some Techmax styling but is not a Techmax... sadly there is only one Honda NC with DCT available within my budget and its way to far to consider as I want to have a proper test ride and if I choose wrong with my knee issues it could be a big mistake. The TMax at least allows me to re-position my leg when riding for comfort.

I have been turned off the Mana by the plethora of issues people seem to have had.

As much as I like that White TMax I have already disregarded it. its from tinklers where I got the other from and they only knocked off £300 on that one and then I had to pay £100 for delivery.

The other one has as much mileage as the first one I lost which means potential for work soon to be done. And I already have 4 different screens, a set of Dr Pulleys, etc.

The two I have my eye on are low mileage and immaculate looking so I'd rather go with those...

Nope, deal done on that TMax and deposit paid. I probably won't be able to ride it for a month but that will give me time to do some tinkering :D
