Hi guys the time has come to sell my ex toseland cbr 600 world supersport bike due to the dj bike arriving. This bike was sold from louth to a collector then to the minion brothers honda dealer up north then bought by my mate then to me. It's the first bike James rode for Honda back in 1998 so this is the steel framed bike, there were a few bits missing off the bike when I bought it but over the years I managed to get it back to how it was, The bike.. 1998 cbr 600 Ohlins rear shock Ohlins fork internals Hrc dash Hrc wire loom Full size race radiator Blue printed engine Ti bolts though out Hrc rearsets Hrc clip one Had a refurb about 2 years ago. I have a letter of conformation from the minion brothers and Neil tuxworth him self confirmed and signed the bike still waiting to bump into James to sign the other side. The frame has a few dents in from where he slid off at monza but is perfectly rideable. offers between £8500 - £9000
I thought this was a keeper based on reading your thread in recent times...and just love your fancy MOT bay in the fourth & fifth photographs,.
GLWS. That looks a very reasonable price to me, should make an excellent acquisition for someone out there.
Just maybe worth trying to get hold on Toseland himself to see if he’s interested in buying his old bike back as not many of the racers own their old machines as there’re coming up through the ranks but once they get very successful and have a few quid anything is possible. His band “crash” used to list contact details on their website so gotta be worth a try with nothing really to loose. Good luck with all aspects of the sale and whoever ends up with it let’s hope it goes to a loving and caring new owner and home. Obviously if Toseland does buy it my usual fees of a cuppa and a egg sandwich will apply should we bump into each other in a roadside cafe.
That's Cool, I owned a steel frame Toseland bike which I think I moved on in 2001, traded my R1 against it, all the right papers, wonder if its the same bike ??, picked it up north of leeds
well guys ive spoken to a few race bike dealers i know about my bike and they all said they think the price is a bit high, so im reducing the price to suit, they reckon between £8500 - £9000 is a good place to start. cheers
I’m surprised it’s not sold! Sound investment especially considering it’s heritage and what looks to be in cracking condition. Might be worth trying it on a Honda based forum! Lots of older bikes are becoming quite collectible now even in standard form. Ex race bikes with good pedigree usually get snapped up pretty quickly. Glws
yeah think your right mate, im going to put it on the 1000rr forum, its going on ebay next week though im not looking forward to that, but yes its a good investment for someone, id love to keep it but need must.
