its gloss bike, my mate is actually looking for one now but I know there a quite a few old but unregistered bikes out there (eg I know of a 2008 bike (its white so its a give away) that is on an 11 plate with very few miles on the clock. the dealer thinks its worth a bit of cash (�5800 !!!) because its white.

But its still a 4 year old bike.

Mine is a 2010 bike but was only registered last month as a 2012. I got it for a very good price.

I thought there may be something in the frame number to signify its year of biuld.
