Daft price,but par for the course presently.

232kgs is a heavy old unit too.

Positives are,it'll be a good pulling engine.

If I remember right the GT is around the same weight and wears it very well, doesn't feel particularly weighty at all.

Surely that'd be the Desert X?

Nah, Porsches have a reputation for being reliable
Desert X is the equivalent of a Range Rover

You could buy two Honda Hornetto's for £14.5k.

Useful if you can't decide which colour is bestest.

Maybe for another thread... you HAVE to spend up to £14.5k on a NEW bike.

You don't get to keep the change.

Not a pre-reg or dealer special, RRP with a link to the official manufacturers UK webshite.
