That makes perfect sense for a spanish bike...The more I look at it the more I think I have bought a right mongrel

You need to speak to Citizens Advice. I am near 100% certain that terms "like sold as seen" or no "warranty implied or given" no longer enable a dealer or even "multiple" private seller to sell something that is not fit for purpose or of merchantable quality.

Oh ok. Something I didn't know.. Thanks for the advice. I think it's only fair to speak to the dealer first and go from there. If needs be in guess that will be the way to start things. If not a a big hole or a match may have the desired effect!

The 05 on had black fork stantions http://www.betausa.com/node/751

Thanks, I thought 05 onwards changed to black forks. At the very least it's an 06 with 04 or earlier forks on it then.

Found the original add that was online and it's advertised as an 05. My receipt is an 06.

It gets worse. Dan, I managed to walk off with your pen torch! You've gotta get back out now

Ha ha, I can live with a missing torch. I wont stop riding, I am sure there will be a few more hiccups along the way!

 

Could be worse, could of got home and locked your keys in the van as well...

Thanks for all the help and advice so far.

 

The bike is heading back to the dealer, so I guess I will just go from there.

hope you got sorted mate if not name and shame .

In all the recent goings on forgot to update this. In the end things got sorted out. Ended up with a txt pro, albeit it did pop the thermostat second ride but such is life! Either way I'm out doing some falling off again.

Thanks all for the help, much appreciated ☺
