Just had the chance to have a good read throught this and i have to say the bit at the end with the parts prices raised a smile!
A whole 78 quid for a complete exhaust system and £21 for a single stay front mudguard!
I wish I'd had the foresight to squirrel a few of these away at the time... I'd be siiting on a fortune now!
I'ts very interesting reading and thanks once again for posting it. i've seen (and got) several road tests myself, but never seen this one before.
cheers
