Re: Yamaha XT1200Z Owners

Not a good day to ask that one for me. Wouldn't start this morning, no idea why, will be a call out job at the weekend when I have time. Apart from that, done 2000 miles on it and think it's brilliant. No issues other than today.

I got mine 500 miler jan 11 for 10999, but the real deal came in the part ex which was some 1700 quid more than anyone else offered and only 100 quid less than what I had it adver...
