I'd put forward the SF or Diavel as an ambit claim and then offer the cheaper alternative of an S4Rs as a solution to the deadlock in negotiations. All the power you will ever need for the road and then some at bargain prices I reckon.

So the slow worm missed the bird boo
620ie was sold before I got to even make an offer. 400 as a grey import was never in contention
and the 620 carbie models for sale at the moment are all asking too much.
As my bike has been raised  Luba feels it is too big for her so Im still on the hunt for a cheap 620ie. non LAMS
The StreetfighterS 2011 Black/red frame probably will be six months away at least ,I like the same colour combo on the 1098 but they are all in the 28k neigbourhood second hand and would not be a good commuter , so looks like I will be window shopping for a while either for her ,original plan or for me ,which would mean working on mine to get the hight down etc. for Luba.

Commence negotiations and lower your bike for the GLW. Even the longer stroke S4R would be an outrageous street bike with a few mods taking it to 120hp and prodigious grunt. I reckon they would be a bargain bike.

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

the S4R IS an awesome street bike! yes, the testastretta makes a few more horses, maybe 15? and it is smoother than the desmoquattro but it's a naked bike after all and there's no way you will top out the engine in either bike, i have one and have ridden the testa and back to back they're different, but the S4R isn't really lacking anything by comparison, except maybe the brakes but a set of 999 calipers fixes that!

paul.

i say give luba your 695, lowered, and buy a S4R or S4R Testastretta and prepare to scare yourself!

 Bike too tall you say Dez.....??     just deflate the tyres, then put Luba on it but in high heels......problem solved...Frasers are closed on Sundays so clinching the deal will have to be delayed till monday, i am working just around the corner, that makes me free to tag along on the test ride. I will bring my riding gear, all you need is your credit card......... Grin Grin

Frasers are open Sunday. 10 or 11 till 3pm.
Unwrap the CC Dez and rock on down.

But I'd be looking at that black S4Rs for half the $$$ and then spending the rest on
Bling and pretty bits.

Hey Dez if the Luba reads this thread your going to end up with the rough end of a pineapple in a place were the sun don't shine laughingdp
A quick google and realy (Luba love)

And as the others said give the 695 to Luba. just lower it
And you know the bike inside out.
Yeah street fighters are nice and made to suck you in, big bucks Shocked i can't see you riding one to work around the bends just too hard on the back wheel.
that black s2r up the coast looks like it's sold.
there will be more, and the s4r at desmo clinic sounds good Undecided

Dez...........Majority rules......the 695 is Luba's...........problem No 1 solved......
Next comes you......enough is enough.......Friday is the deadline, make a decision by then or the hat will be passed around in here , proceeds will be enough to buy you a fire engine red postie bike......
