Bike buying

I bought my Mille last year without seeing it - the first sight I had of it was when the chap I sent to collect it turned up at my house. That was a private sale as well. I spoke with the seller and got a good feeling, he did a video walk round and so on.

I think you'd have decent protection with buying from a dealer because Distance Selling Regulations would apply, giving you a 14 day right of return.

they employ there own delivery driver /salesman 

i was very happy with the bike 

good experience 

Ebay.

Sunday night.

4 cans of lager

1 bottle of wine.

Woke up Sunday morning to discover I'd bought a bike.

Was my GenII Tuono.

Best mistake ever.

 wish my mistakes were like that!

i recently bought a ML63 AMG for me mum and instantly had it inspected by brabus in chelmo, it was a dog, one email. not even a call an email to ebay with the report from water house and bang, money back.

and recently with a dogg of a gen 2 that i bought. got every penny back.

its got to the stage where ebay is the only place id consider buying a car, even if i see it in person i would check if it was on ebay and click buy it now on there. i cant stress enough the buyers protection you get,

great bike i my self have just got a RF the 17 and 18 year are the exact same bike apart from a slightly different paint scheme, 

i don't know if you have ridden one before i used the traction paddle shifters to change it to max on my first ride hahaha, i set the wheelie control to half then went into the options menu and change the AWC button to cruise control, one of my favourite features of these beasts, in terms of the exhaust you wont get a quite one without the servo motor and homologated akra, if you where to change to a slip on its still without the servos and cat they are all bloody loud.

also if you have a smart phone give the V4 app a go i log all of my journeys and fuel consumption etc, it saves all rider telemetry and can track your bikes location.

i currently have 4 different sportbikes and test rode all of the new bikes including a MV Augusta and this is by far the best bike i have ever owned. 

im actually quite excited for you as crazy as that sounds i cant stress enough. best bike for under 20k... easily.

if the bikes been flashed without the race ECU then they would of overwritten one of the stock maps, that amazing power, i have a printout with mine at 193rw so it goes to show that these bikes are definitely playing in the deepened, 44teeth did a shootout between the 18 rf and 18 V4S and the RF did a better time, again they are the real deal.

as far as rider modes all 3 are full power but what changes is the delivery and engine breaking in race mode when you shut off the throttle its like you have the brakes half on!! so watch out for that, when i first got it and wanted to feel it out i left it in Sport, i have now got up to the track mode and the response is savage - around town Sport is perfect the response is perfect for in and out traffic etc race mode feels strange it just feels full on all the time and im not that good. but changing it on the fly as your moving is easy, just press the starter button and it flashes on screen then leave it.

what took a few rides was just keeping the throttle pinned as i banged it up the box, its an amazing sensation and then again keeping it open as you go down the box..ooofff - a crazy feeling. all without the clutch, the bike works a lot better even at low speeds with clutch less shifts up or down.
