Bought two motorbikes over the email/phone (CBR 929 Fireblade and ZX-14/ZZR-1400) and both were excellent bikes.

I just done the exact opposite to what I would do normally and got my first FF....test drove many but didn't feel right, wrong colour or wrong spec...this one is one I have been after for many many years, right colour with the right wood trim I wanted.

Couldn't bring myself to do it with an FFRR, unless I had commissioned Gaz to find me one!

I've bought a couple on eBay and just turned up to collect them & driven home. The last one I got from Belfast - they seller met me at the airport - I then drove to Larne, got the ferry to Stranraer and drove home.

Bought my FFRR over the internet while in Singapore and paid for it in full before I got home to the UK.

Bought mine over the phone, actually just emails, it was the spec I wanted and it's from a main dealer, I just hammered them down to a decent price! Got 30k off the new price for a 2012 ff that was 12 months old and 10k miles, just pick your time usually at the end of the month!

Bought both my FF's over the 'phone as they were too far south to go to view.
