I used to have one of these full Öhlins Rs and sold it when I fell on hard times about 7 or 8 years ago for £5k However, it was yellow so that might explain the £4k price difference GLWS and welcome
Well, time to update. I am the very proud new owner of Sean’s beautiful 748r. I fell for it the second I saw it on this forum. Picked her up with Sean from Baines this afternoon and enjoyed a great ride home. It was and is perfect. Just going to enjoy it this summer (new tyres first) then I plan to refresh the carbon which is the only part of the bike showing it’s age. Sean was amazing to deal with. Never met a more straight up guy. The history with the bike is comprehensive and is a real credit to him. I had no intention to buy a 748 but after @cookster arranged the meet at On Yer Bike I knew I had to have a 916/748 and I think this is the perfect one for me. So. Happy ever after Will load some pics when I can.
@Expat Jack lol Its almost like your saying it's my fault you bought it!! congrats on the new bike bud.
Likewise, it was a pleasure doing the deal with you - even the haggling over price ♂️ - and I'm so glad the old girl's going to such a caring owner. Hope you have many thousands of happy miles together, and watch out for the damn potholes!!
??? Weird how the "men wrestling" emoji was transformed when I posted it here. Oh well, that's technology for you!
