Okay, now I may seem ridicolous.... I had second thoughts, and abandoned the BMW right before I was to call the owner to make a deal :hide:
Went back to try the '19 Tracer 700 again, and had confirmed the reason for heavy handling was indeed a flattish front tyre. But - the owner (commission sale) had changed his mind this very morning and was coming to pick up the bike...
So still no bike decision; Then it occurred me that maybe some Yam dealer still had T7s for sale, and voilá! Within 30 minutes I'd signed a contract. Still not tested the bike as there are no demos around...
Â
I have been afraid to make a wrong pick of my next bike. But (judged by the total lack of both new and used T7/T700s in the Norwegian market) I thought it would be safe to ive it a go and probably be able to sell the bike on if I have a chenge of heart.
Â
Not sure if I'd keep the old Mk1 as I originally planned to - at least I'll try to sell it. The T7 is about as close to the Mk1 as you can get. I doubt the Mk1 will bring me more than half the price of the upgrades and new parts it's equipped with, a pity you guys are too far away for buying the goodies....
Â
So - a few interesting days ahead: New bike on friday, new age (60) on monday !
