Cheers Ducati, I found it on ebay and I drove all the way to Albury and back in a day to get it, its off to the shop tomorrow to get a bit of a tune, in all honesty im looking to get a cbr125 for her as i think it might be better suited to her. At least while she is on her L plates anyway. Time will tell next week if she is comfortable on it though.

thanks mate, due to just trying to make it look more presentable im not being too fussy with quality of paint. im using autobarn motortech gloss black and clear at $3.50 a can, i have used six cans of each :)
