Descolada:
Again, genuinely useful advice, thank you so much for taking the time to respond, its very much appreciated. My budget is around the 3.5 mark so this reply has been a great help.

3.5K should get you a 2009-2010 Wee (650 AK9 model) in very good condition (or an older model in near-immaculate condition with low mileage), perhaps (if you're a good negotiator) even with some change left over to "make it your own" (a bike isn't really yours until you've modified/customized it in some meaningful way)
If you've got a bike to trade-in, you may even be able to come out with a brand new Glee (depending on what you get trade value on an existing bike... remember they'll try to screw you as much as possible, because that's how they make their money)
Descolada:
Thank you again, that's music to my ears, now to find the bike! Out of interest, how much would you estimate a good condition 2011 Wee would go for? Would it be worth holding on a little longer to see if they come down in price a little or would it be better to try and raise more capital for the purchase?
With regards to a trade in, my current machine is rubbish so I expect to get next to nothing for it.

2011 old shape or new shape? It matters! If you're after a new shape, you'll need to wait a while to get it within your 3.5k budget!
If you're considering the 2011 old shape, you may as well get a 2009 or 2010 as they're all basically exactly the same (I don't know of a single difference between them... not one)
Redsoul:
Great post LaKraven....I have just sold my bonneville at a realistic price and it went straight away....am now in the market for a glee strom but asking price for 2nd hand is hilarious.
I look at the dealer book price of a bike then add a few hundred pounds for price I am willing to pay.
Have actually found some dealer prices more competetive than private lol.
Trying to stick to my guns to get a glee but year old tiger 800xc,s seem to be nearly as cheap as similar age glee lol.
May just wait untill beginning of year and buy a pre-reg 13 plate glee and get the dealer to thow in a load of extras free to sweeten deal.
