Hi Bub, around £3500? Is that realistic? And can collect a bike from anywhere in the UK these days, so no issues there..... Any advice?

Hi all, just joined the forum and in the hunt for a nice silver and black 2002 or the 2004 model. Have always loved the 2002 bike, so will probably go that way.

Any advice on what to watch for, or any good bikes going , very much appreciated.

Thanks guys an gals.
