I didn't plan to buy a brand new bike at the end of September as I don't ride during the winter, but a price lower than a new ABS Blade or ZX10 tempted me.
Thanks for the welcome. Yes it is a 2013 bike in black, it had to be registered by the end of September to get the deal. I think BMW put in some dosh to coincide with the 90 year anniversary.
The 13 bike has DTC and ABS as standard and they were all I wanted along with black, the only bikes available had heated grips but as I didn't want those I didn't have to pay for them. If the weather stays crap I wont be getting the 600 service done before the spring .
