£3k is that it? That's decent price right? The uk gets screwed on these new, literally more in £ than in $
New 450 is £10k and they hold their value like a house.
Expect to be bored to death on a roads, but then I would say half of all bikers purposely avoid a roads.
Ridden the a9 a number of times and each time, summer or winter fallen asleep at the bars or just been so bored and fed up that I've had to take breaks every 30 mins.

Despite years of thinking I'd like a fire breathing 2 stroke Husaberg enduro, when looking into it I can't see how it'd work. Like track days, the guys who are really into it are often tradespeople with a spare vans for transporting bikes which makes the enduro service intervals slightly less eyewatering. After a few days of reading online I've come to the conclusion when intervals are measured in hours (or the bike needs an hour meter) I'm out. This admission hopefully opens up some modest green lane touring.
Been playing with the idea of buying another bike this year and something with knobbly tyres makes more sense as opposed to another superbike. Think I've come to the conclusion that a Honda XR400R could be a good allrounder so will keep watching eBay and most likely annoy you all with more questions as I change my mind serval times.
Not to be a be a bad influence but thought this was quite a good deal. Also I get the point about having two different bikes that roughly cost the same as something fancier but ultimately is good at just one thing.
