Thanks for the reply. This I am not sure of. If anyone can confirm a 2007 onwards bike is required to be registered 2nd-hand in SH please let me know. I don't entirely trust dealers will be forthcoming with the truth about such matters when faced with a potential sale.

I'm not particularly set on a brand, I'd just like sports bike to have fun with on the evenings and weekends when the roads are a little less busy. If there are any highly recommended dealers anyone has dealt with feel free to let me know.
