Haha. I may but I'm still waiting to hear if I have a job. Once I know that I will be in a better position to move forward.

Your 100% right there Tony.
I m pretty much ready to change. Just enjoying some test rides and making my choice. If nothing comes up I m happy to keep the zx10r a little longer as I really enjoy it, the only reason for swapping is to try something else. After all life's full of lots of different flavours and it's nice to try them all

It's hard not to like that bike. Mileage is spot on for something used but not used up. Is that price a goodun??
Sorry....I have no idea what UK bike prices are like other than 'high'....

Show the wife this, Blade. This is what crowds round you and your bike when you own a Ducati. It's sure to convince her that it's the right bike for you.
