  1. P.reg yellow and black blade bought new but needed the money, I really used to look after that bike , then I heard someone had street fighter styled it IE crashed it.
    Bought because I saw the blade and thought I've gotta have it.
    Had the same motivation with my evo corse ,

  4. Definitely my 1980 Laverda Jota 180. Sold for £2,000 in 1984. Now? £10,000?

  6. So I'm still nearly four grand light!

    A mate kept all his seventies bikes - various Kwacker triples, Ninjas, a water bottle plus various Desmos and now has 18 bikes and a lovely pension fund to play with at weekends. Amazingly, he's been married for 30 years to the same woman!

  8. It was immaculate - porous head fixed and valve seat inserts done by Phil Todd. Only 8,000 miles. I couldn't manage it after a bad crash and had to learn how to ride again - on a GS750.

    Plus the buyer must have really wanted it I suppose!!

  10. technically I'm not selling.
    It is the insurance write off and collection of my 2013 Pikes Peak Multistrada this Thursday (Cat B write off).
    It has one more years Ducati warranty (purchased as an extra).
    It was the best around motorcycle I've ever ridden. If I ever return to motorcycling I will get another or very similar.

  11. How long before it shows up on eBay and how much for. They'll sell it on for upto 50% of what they gave you.

  14. They can sell it to breakers as a parts only bike. But the frame will be scrapped along with the v5

  15. I had a tuned RD350YPVS motor, in a modified frame with kwak KR1s, front end, rgv swing arms and wheels - which was built by a friend for me.
    I loved it! It never blew up not matter how much I abused it (premixed silc pro2). I crashed it and later had it grafted into an alloy TZR chassis with RGV250 front end AND back end. I never had it finished but really regret selling it...

    Other than that, I sold a KX250 which belonged to a guy who built race engines and that was awesome.. all the other Japs > four strokes have been very good but not so memorable. I had a fast R6 back in 1999/2000 but having rode one since it is not that special by todays standards.

  16. What a fantastic bike. I'd love that. I realise that probably hasn't helped soften your sense of regret. :(
