The price is £8000, bike located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.
I have a 1098s as well that has been unridden for a while. I can't believe how little money they go for. They are an amazing ride and for £8k I don't think that there is anything better value on the market. It will make for a very happy buyer. Good luck with the sale
it really isn't fair Max? you clearly have pampered this bike so that it's far better than standard not to mention the extra performance parts thrown in, yet it's going for the price of a standard bike, and still no-one's picked up on it. I wish you luck selling, and soon. Just an idea, but if you add an approximate location in the country it might convince someone to at least come and look for starters.
Thanks mate, It's listed in the original ad but for confirmation it's located in Gateshead, NE11. I get it's the wrong time of year to be selling a bike but it's likely I'll be out of the country again all of next summer too so it'd make sense for me to move it on before then rather than have it sat around doing nothing for another year, I'm not about to let it go for next to nothing though..
