Stolen after 5 weeks 1k miles. Gutted
Bike stolen Thursday night. Gutted just getting hang of her after moving up from 125. Want another cant find any in budget. Any tips on what to get instead will have about �2.5k after insurance excess.
Part of me hopes its recovered but can't bare to think what these state she will be in. |

Gutted for you mate. Was it stolen from your garage, or from out in the street? Anything more you can do to keep the bike a bit more secure in the future?

That's no fun. Sorry to hear that. I certainly would be sorry to loose my bike. I hope it's recovered in reasonable order.

Mate - that is truly pants. I have lost a few decent bicycles whilst being in this country and have been (still am) gutted. I hope that you can replace it on insured value but I know that advertised value does not equate to real world value of these bikes, which is quite frustrating.
Good luck! |

guted to here your bike got nicked. I wouldn't keeps your hopes up for the police or insurance company getting your old bike back. but for �2.5k I'm sure you could pick up a good second hand xtr or xtx

It leaves a sick feeling, my wife left her SH150 outside a coffee bar here in Roma for an hour and did not fit the D lock antitheft device and yes the bike "walked" so we lost the bike, 2 helmets, waterproofs, the D lock etc etc and the insurance pay out about 1000 Euro LESS than the real value........
