  11. was this red with Termis on Ebay per chance? 22k-ish?
     
  12. Nope, I just missed out on buying a black one that was at CMC Bikes and was cross with myself for deliberating for too long. I then popped a message on the Monster UK Facebook Group and a guy said he was considering selling his 1200R. We exchanged numerous messages and pics, and did a deal. 3800 miles on a 66 plate with Termi and other mods, so pretty pleased Monster 1200R 3.jpg .
