i think the T might denote a price for a fellow trader?

Must be a mistake - if you look at some of their other bikes, they have the same price and then another price after.

Can't see a main Honda dealer let an 05 plate go for Â£3500. Having said that it is way overpriced at Â£5999. These are doing them new for Â£5299 http://www.bridgemotorcycles.com/pages/ ... sp?nid=669#

Let us know what their reply is.

Cheers,

Ian.

or maybe it's because it only has 5 gears

All the others have six

Just wondering if the price was for a fellow trader, wouldn't it be a bit stupid to show how much they are actually paying for them lol, unless they mean that is the price with a trade in, so they are giving Â£1500 for your old bike, anyway, still waiting for there reply, will update you guys and gals as soon as i know more

The 05 reg did sound a bit too cheap! Not keen on this one you have found - race replica paint may mean its previously been down the road and resprayed. Some insurers won't cover bike with race rep paint.

To give you some idea of trade value of Storms, I thought about trading mine in recently (53 reg F3 model 9000 miles excellent condition) and offers on it were around Â£2800.
