By Jon Urry on 12/10/2007 12:49:25
With a £5000 budget we delve into the second-hand market to test four of the best used bargains around, the 2001 Aprilia Mille, 2000 Duacti 748, 2001 Honda Fireblade and 2001 Suzuki GSX-R750
up in dealers as second-hand bikes, with price tags that are far more accessible to most of us than when they were new. Good news for the second-hand customers, not such good news for the fashion-conscious buyer who takes the hit.Setting a £5000

Whitham's three and a half grand second-hand challenge
By Visordown on 18/10/2006 13:02:13
In 2006 with the unlikely premise of £3500 fast burning holes in their pockets, four Visordown teamsters are buying second-hand steel. It's head v. hearts all the way
buy cars - oh, and those of us who have just been told "we're having a baby", of course.And quite probably the one way to make the transaction even more stressful is to buy second-hand. With new bikes there's the comfort of a two-year warranty

By Tim Dickson on 02/12/2010 15:55:26
Overlooked when new, the second-hand metal that's got us thinking, 'Now that's a good idea...'
pillions got a good deal. Five years on, with an eye on the second-hand market for something exciting, affordable and practical, they're all things high on my used bike shopping list.Then as now, as a road-focused sports bike free from the shackles of race

Used Review: Yamaha TDM 850-900
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 22:28:24
Always a massive seller in Europe but an underrated under-achiever in the UK. Nevertheless, the TDM in all its forms is a secret waiting to be discovered by the second-hand buyer.
YAMAHA'S TDM850 FIRST raised its bug-eyed head in 1991. The mix of goggle-eyed looks, Delatbox frame, tall, town friendly stance and punchy parallel twin motor seemed perfect for the city and Britain's back roads.The TDM850 was Europe's second
