Thanks all, great advice as always. I am now on the horns of a dilemma between, Triumph Trident 900 and VFR800. Will see if I can find some to try.It's 29 years since I bought a bike and that was in boxes. Do people allow potential buyers to test ride or is it considered a no no?

If a private seller arranges to meet you in a car park to carry out a sale run a mile because it's probably stolen!
If it’s high, don’t worry if it’s a Honda and been serviced. Pretty much unbreakable enginesVery true especially the VFR with cam gear drive, no long cam chain thrashing around. Lots of the late model VFR750’s around at sub £2k in decent condition. These bikes have got to start increasing in value, an undervalued classic for sure.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
