Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Check what a service includes as Rocket was told the same when buying his TEN and he was far from happy from the limited work they did.

Any extras ? Condition, FSH Much price difference ?

Hard to tell but go with the one that you feel confident about and feel has been looked after and a genuine no bullsh1t sale.

Right. As I do following he mega advice and piss taking on here have put a deposit down on this baby. FKSH, two owners, non-ABS, mint all round with service book up to date. http://www.jordanbikes.com/pages/used/u ... v5lWmF4WnM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Now the challenge, who can get my bike up to Leeds and the ZX-10R back down for me? I'm thinking put it in a rented van and doing the swap over or get mine sent up and there's back down.

I know some of us Slappers travel up and down so....options guys???

I would use one of the delivery companies.

I've actually sat on that bike (apologies for the sex wee stains). I'm a regular at Jorden Bike, as I pass it regularly and always pop in for a looky.

I highly rate them, always very good stock and most importantly they run their own parts and labour warrantees so they don't take any chances on what they sell. They don't offer those insurance based warrantees, so if any part is in doubt they change it as it doesn't make financial sense for them to drive down to London to replace a battery.

It's also the place my bike will be going for it first major service.

Well i should be asking for more off the bike if Monty has sat on it...

Cheers Perkles, yup I want it this weekend yet not doable so I may have to arrange pick up Tuesday and get it the following Tuesday.

Or Monty shall I try and sort it tomorrow...only kidding buddy the Doris would kill me.

mega bike for the money,I love mine even though I am biased

With a bit of planning I reckon we could sort out a tankslap zx10r relay from Leeds to your house.

Nice BIKE Cornish, enjoy it mate.

As Perks says wait for the disco lights and following laughter

Mate tomorrow is good for me, as long as you don't mind me dragging 4 kids along.

Sarah is having one of her work stress spats and is insisting on working all weekend, because we're going to France for a few days next week

Is buying a ZX10 just a new way of outing yourself?

That does look very nice in black
