Looks like everyone is worried about the mileage for some reason, i have reduced it to £8499 and will re-list it on ebay in march april, or may have to break it
Restore it all to standard specification, exactly as it was when it rolled out of the factory. Then people will be queuing up to buy it.
Quick calculation i would need to spend around £2500-£3000 on parts to put it back to stock Tank, side panels, exhaust, seat, mirrors, indicators, wheels, front mudguard, side panels, rear light assembly, rear shocks and a few other bits, thats if i can find all the bits if i am lucky i could sell my bits i take off for, lets say £3500, but would prob only get 5-6k standard because of the milage, may as well sell it for less, break it, or sell my Norton Dominator Naked and keep it
Beautiful bike....its a shitter when all people see is the mileage...Years ago a lad on the us duc forum who had a hypermotard that went round the clock. Ive got no issues with mileage personally. Id rather pay more for a personalized bike thats been done tastefully. GLWS.
I dont know what the mileage was...my mate is just the same. Sees a nice bike then dismisses it if its above 10k...If its been looked after and serviced then theres no reason why it shouldnt carry on being reliable... If anything - since my hyper seized its now even more reliable than it was before with the dodgy shell bearings removed (known failure point) plus the replacement crank was balanced so, its smoother than it ever was...
The Ducati is a much better bike to ride, i have just always wanted the Norton, looks and sounds awesome in my opinion
