It all depends on how much the dealer is prepared to knock off the price, for the sake of £1000 I'd buy new!
Never trust salesman, they talk rubbish most of the time just to sell the car!
A mildly over the top and slightly cynical statement i'd say!!!

I also drove a demo in June from the Enfield branch and that car got red-lined! It all depends on what model you buy, if its a CTR then it will get hammered on every test drive, as long as the engine has been warmed up it should take it!
Pretty much every car is redlined at the factory as part of the testing of the car, thats why they have rev limiters, to stop any damage occuring.
