Thanks for some great advise folks, much appreciated.
Refreshing to just pick a bike based on looks and my tastes! The 701 is best looking bike for me personally.

Doesn't appear to be any great deals on new or pre registered just now, not surprising given my timing. I will give it a couple of months and see what happens. It’s a 2nd bike so dose not need to be the latest and greatest in terms of spec either.

I see Ducati are offering 2.9% across the Hypermotard range but I would rather get a cash price reduction than finance.
I asked Glasgow for a quote but they say the 2.9% rate isn’t available yet on their Blackhorse finance quotation app yet!

I didn't get a penny off, but then again once I sat on one I said "I'm having it" and gave the game away.
I took the 50/50 deal and will see what the value of them is in 20 months time and make the decision of hand it back vs trade in vs pay remaining 50% and keep it.

See quite alot of them for sale with very low miles, maybe there are alot of impulse purchases on them or people can't live with the single cylinder 'thumper' engine shaking their fillings out.

I bet you could get a good deal on a nearly new that somone has ticked all the options on, exhaust etc or an ex demo.

And that is what just happened, sans the exhaust.
Px the GSX S-1000 too, so that will be a change! lol.
