  1. Latest issue just dropped through the door and they have just started a new Project Series building an 851 replica out of an ST4.

    Just sayin...

    They recon they can do it for £4K and the real ones cost £6K+
    Think your better buying a real one for £5K+ - they do come up in reasonable nick...

  4. But then I'd give to Louigi Moto for a massive tweak, stick some panniers on it and ride to Portimao.

  7. I think Steve Bailey, I think his username is @duc904red, of 888 Fabrications may be involved somewhere.

  8. Even without the cost of the donor bike a £4000 build sounds optimistic. Perhaps PS have factored in press blagging.

  9. It says in the mag BBB Fabrications - BBBfabrications.com did you get your 8's mixed up with your B's Matt?

  11. Have you seen how far away the B is from the 8 - what was he typing with DB!!!!!!!!!! :Wideyed:

  12. Not a typo, it was just early when I typed it. :Yawn: Havent read the article yet. Weird to get the mag on a Wednesday though. Normally get it on Sat morning...no sniggering at the back

  14. Of course the advantage of a "replica" 851 or 888 built from an ST4 is that you can abuse the sh*t out of it without having to worry about destroying a piece of history...

  15. I read in the same magazine that RGV 250s are available for less than a grand.
    Really?

  17. I buy bike mags for pictures of bikes not stories, who needs stories :Happy:

  18. It says £3500 on the cover too!
     
    #18 Exige, Oct 17, 2014
  19. That's an expensive mag
