848 £25k For An 848 ?

  1. Nice bike for sure but for 25k I would expect Ohlins r&t forks or desmo type,Brembo HPK calipers,Carbon wheels,BST carbon swingarmSTM evoluzione slipper clutch,NCR rad and oil cooler etc etc.

    The chain and sprockets, carrier & rearsets look standard also.Feck me for that money you would think they would throw in a STM conversion NCR rearsets and NCR sprocket carrier.

    I thought NCR would have done a more complete job on it like a lot of there other bikes.

  2. The bike is nothing like the NCR spec list,have seen better spec bikes than that for sub 10k prices,give me a 1098r and a 999r any day.

  3. Yeah I just read the specs list.For a start the fork bottoms are standard ohlins not NCR special parts.
     
  4. I cant see a 24k bike there,its a 848 with ohlins,dry clutch,exhaust,miss match of fairings,subjective paint job,maybe the engines top spec ?,cant see it weighing 155kg either,maybe i am missing the point,at least 16k overpriced.

  5. I'm fairly certain this bike has been mentioned on here before and similar observations made. So it appears to be either a con or an eBay seller who hasn't a clue.
     
  6. Con. You can't be advertising a motorcycle at £25k without at least understanding what you are presenting it to be worth...

    If the bike turns out to be not what it's presented to be - whether through ignorance or intent - then that's a con, surely?
     
  7. :Bookworm: Yeah too many goodies missing, doesn't even have an NCR clutch cover or slave cylinder, who knows what's inside it :confused: - 155kg :Hilarious:

  8. £25k and standard rearsets! Owner must be really pissed
     
  9. According to the advert it retails at £50k new that puts it at better than Desmosedici ?
    I find that very hard to believe.
     
  10. Maybe they took it in as a P/X in good faith that it is an NCR bike but the previous owner had swapped out all the best bits and sold them separately on EBay?

    Shame... :Angelic:
     
  11. I didn't want to be critical in this new era niceness !!
