Mooched about Colchester Kawasaki yesterday whilst car getting serviced.

Made some enquires about MP3 500LT but having read reviews a swerve from me (at the moment)

However they had this little beauty in stock. Top money but low low mileage and in mint condition (I reckon never seen rain)

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222293219711

Also looked at the eBay listed silverwing at TK Cope. For price not good IMO and once bought have to whip wheels off to get refurbished.

Very overpriced for a 13 year old scooter

not many dealers selling bikes for much less anywere though

will probably sell for about 1100 quid so when they bought it for 800ish there isn't much profit to be made really

that's going on what they offered me on my burgman at a dealers

@andyscooter agreed like s/h car dealers (when I was in trade) mark up was £500/£1K .

But when you look at the staggering overheads now for dealerships (especially the independents) you can't blame them.

friend of mine has just sold a 2012 sym jet

she bought it from a dealer for 1400 last year when her scooter died

sold it for a grand
the bloke who sold it was promised 25% of what he could get for it he is a small motorcycle shop

he has a vespa outside that has been there for over 12months that has virtually no miles on it all the extras and he wanted more then it was new for it to even make a profit on it
