    Evening all...I've just put a deposit down on an 04 plate 955i today. First bike, it's something I've put off doing for many, many years. I've always loved bikes just never seemed to find the right time to get one.

    It is mate, the decals are a little ropey in places and it has a couple of very minor scuffs on it but it's in in excellent condition for its age. Not having it delivered for a few weeks due to work but I'll let you know how my first ride goes.

    well. there are hundreds of adds here in the US for nice bikes, many HD,s, lightly used bikes of guys who go thru Mid life crisis. Hey, im now over 50, have some extra cash, never ridden a real bike. So, they go out buy a bike way to big for a beginner and it scares the crap out of them. It sits in the garage until the wife says sell it you dunce. Not to dissuade you, but start out small and cheap. See if its really what you want. Then move up incremental to bigger and more powerful.
