as above, s4 rs, needs uk clocks if it is indeed staying in the uk, Iva, not sure of service record, I am bringing this bike to the uk from Spain around the 8th February I should be back, can be dropped off anywhere, the owner is English living in Spain and requested I bring it back get it ready for sale and sell, I will post in the for sale section when I get more information, initially need some help/ advice or even offers of interest if someone wants it, as it is or after all works done , so clocks or even a stick on mph? Does anybody want to help sort this bike? Obviously for payment to be arranged with customer. Ta
I’m interested as it is. Obviously as you say, need info on current mileage, no of owners, service history. I’m in Leeds. Cheers.
Cool so am I, the owner is calling me today, he is in meetings so do not know when, I have asked all the questions so hopefully get some answers, ultimately it’s down to price though we all know that. I’ll let you know when I do. Ta
ok, the bike has come from Qatar, has been in uk currently has uk mot, bike is in Spain now, I am bringing it back to Leeds around the 8th February 18,600 + km 2 owners 7/10 to 8/10 by the looks of it 3 keys All books bar service book Standard Rs One scratch on the left hand fork leg around an inch long deep enough to through the gold coating Am assured it has been serviced regularly but no evidence so will need refresh Bike has up until recently been used regularly in Spain, wife forces reluctant sale. This is not a for sale thread that will be done today however interest has been shown by itsamonstor I will pm and first refusal will be yours, after that it’s a case of someone helping get this uk legal and sell or sell as is, this is going to be a very reasonably priced bike
Not interested in this bike, but I know of a low mile one close to me that I have been offered which needs re commissioning and would be interested in the final sale price if you or whoever buys it would let me know
Cool, I have been put in charge of the sale or organising it been made uk legal, so will let you know, this will be a cheap bike, one at ritebike bradford 23,000. Miles cat d 7k ...this will be much cheaper to say the least
He’s optimistic, 9 out of 10. Looking at corrosion in pics! Looks to have been sat outside a while! Have you seen reviews for this place!
Yes, I take it you have no interest as no reply to my pm so I’ll advertise it no worries, I actually said 8 out of 10 as the owner said 9
I didn’t realise at the time, i had a pm. I said ‘he’ as in the owner was optimistic with a 9/10 evaluation. No offence mean’t for yourself. Glws.
Will make a great bike for someone, the last and best of the proper shape monsters. Someone snap it up, you won't regret it.
Has anybody rode one of these? I quite like it and can touch the floor, needs registering and making uk legal etc but wondering what they are like, YouTube has some footage they look like they handle ok....I have the bike with me now in the van
I test road one of the first S4RSs back in the day. It was the first and currently only Monster I’ve ridden. I was riding an ST4S at the time and was totally unprepared for the amount of torque so low down in the rev range and found it hugely difficult to keep the front wheel on the tarmac. I hated it so much, I cut my test ride short as I didn’t feel in control. Move forward what 15 or 16 years and I now realise the Monster thing is unique and wish I’d given myself time to master it. Absolute hooligan of a bike and probably of its time, one of the quickest bikes point to point there. Andy
Cheers andy, I really getting to like it a bit, I sat on it felt much better than the 1198 I think it looks ok too, not sure about white wheels though
Sat in Spain just had new discs and pads on the van, mechanic just tried them out not sure I want a monster with semi circle front wheel
You did, not discarded it fella appreciate it, just can’t have too much information especially if I buy it and flog the 1198 lol, the monster is deffo interesting me now I have it
