It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt again..

unless its a pre registered bike

[Cornish]

Yup, its a 2011 then, glad i checked with you guys on this before firing off the email.

Is it as a much of an issue now its a 2011 instead of 2012 model? i think the principal is still the same in my view.

[Cornish]

unless its a pre registered bike

Yes, yet wouldn't the VIN show it as a 2011 year model non the less as that's the year of manufacture?

[Kwacky]

I don't think there are any material differences between the 2011 and the 2012 models

[Cornish]

Yeah, that's my understanding Kwacky, yet i suppose the 2011 vs. 2012 issue is still a good point?

yes I believe so

Keep it in the letter but expect them to tell you it's not really an issue.

[Blade]

Kwackys letter is much much better and the one to use with subtle changes to reflect it is now a 2011 model.

Good luck with this but tbh now it's been identified as a 2011 model which is identical to a 2012 model baring colour scheme differences which tbh are extremely subtle I don't think you have much of a case. Still give it a go but if I was Jordans I would personally say you have 2012 registered bike with identical specification to a 2012 built bike, what's your issue. (Not meant argumentative but playing devil's advocate to show how Jordans MAY respond) If it had been a 2010 model it would be a night and day different story but 2011 to 2012 is the same bike in all but colour and even then its very minor changes.

If it was me I would arm myself with facts before entering into discussions. Get a professional to tell you the difference in value between a 2012my bike and a 2012 resgitered 2011my bike. At least then if there is a price difference you can argue your corner with fact not speculation.

[Blade]

Forgot to say good luck hope you get it resolved to your liking.

[Cornish]

An update. I've accepted Jordan's offer and the bike goes back tomorrow. Done. All fairly discussed and sorted now. It wouldn't put me off buying a bike from them again.

Yet I'd ensure all was 100% if buying remotely again with ANY trader.

Thanks for all the advice and listening to my woes.

On to more interesting things, I'm off tomorrow to try out a BMW R nine T...I'll keep you posted guys.

My invoice is in the post

[Monty]

Gay!

[Perkles]

Well done Cornish,I seem to be the only one on here that has had no problems with his zx10r but that's probably because I never ride it

[Blade]

Your right Perks. There zx10r on TS are not very reliable

I may just bonfire mine

[Blade]

Hell of a change zx10r to R90T Cornish They are very cool bikes though and hope you enjoy it

[Perkles]

I think you should get it to a dealer and let them sort it out for you

[Cornish]

[Cornish]

Thanks guys.

Kwacky I'll add it to Monty's PO he's raising.

Monty - going slap you in a couple of weeks buddy

Blade - yup, it's the year to try them I guess.
