  4. Many people put lock wire on just for visual effect. DSC03360.JPG

  5. Looking at the condition of the fasteners and other items I doubt it has been raced, anyway let's assume it done couple of track days would this make any difference if it has been maintained properly?
    Btw the left hand bar end seems to have some sort of damage.

    Call LuigiMoto, followed by a visual check.
    Seems a good deal to me.

  8. Hi I purchased my 916 last year, a Japanese import, mine is also lock wired as is the law there apparently, is the one you're looking at grey import perhaps?

  9. Thanks for advice everyone but it's sold. I was too slow. Apparently it was a good genuine bike according to Luigi chap.

  12. If it’s been lockwired and it’s from Japan it’s been raced or used on track days. It is not the law sorry.

  13. Don't think it means that. A little presumptuous... I also have a Honda Nc30, grey import, full history, 1 owner who I bought it directly from. Never tracked and also lock wired as he also told me was necessary. This was 12 years before I purchased 916. Saying it means it’s been tracked is just not true.

  16. 748 sps

    Just going to look at one now. I need to know if it's genuine sps...what's the best way to tell? I've tried researching but can't seem to find much. It's got online shock, says sps but not sure what else. Any help appreciated as I don't want ripping off.. Thanks in advance .
     
    #16 Karlos1971, May 6, 2019
  17. Is that the red one? Did the sps come in red??

    I know the SP was only available in yellow but don’t really know a great deal about the sps
     
    #17 Messer, May 6, 2019
  18. It's yellow. And believe they only came in yellow. Think the R came in red.

  19. Thought so. There is a red one advertised as SPS on eBay currently.

    R came in yellow and red correct

    There is a low miler one at bury, but are those correct front rotors?:eyes:
