  1. With a milestone birthday approaching i'm looking to bite the bullet & tick 748 ownership off the list.

    748r 02 Ohlins

    Budget £9- £12k

    Thanks in advance

  2. Ah, i see youve already been aquainted in your other thread.
     
  3. Yes - thank you :)

    That one seems to have totted up circa 18k miles when taking into account the previous km speedo

  4. 8800 miles. Previous speedo was km (which makes me wonder why on a 2002 bike tbh).
     
  5. There were alot of parallel imports in the early '00's.
    Bought a new 748E in 2001as a parallel , great bike.

  6. My maths is terrible this morning but would it not be circa 13,766 miles? 7900km (4908 miles) on the original speedo & then 8858 on the current speedo, equalling 13,766 miles?

    Either way, good question re: km on a 2002 bike unless an import?
     
  7. 4908 + 3401 from service record plus a bit single last service. The mph speedo was almost certainly used when it was put on.
     
  8. Looks good :) bar the corrosion - just spotted it in the previous post

  9. Yes - you're correct as I was taking the mileage from the advert text description & then adding the KM!
    The thought of a used speedo doesn't fill me with great confidence

    Hoping someone on here may know a little about the bike
     
  10. Agreed - I have looked in the usual places online, however this one isn't quite what i'm looking for



    ..tantalising BJ, and wondering how much help you will get with this approach, but here's hoping that you get it anyway.:upyeah:
     
  11. Not sure what to make of that, but thanks anyway Chris!
     
  12. you need to tell people more details about exactly what you want - budget price/condition/colour etc if you want the most help!

  13. Noted & amended my original post for clarity :upyeah:
     
  14. sorry to be a pain, but you need to put a "ballpark" price, this bit is almost the most important bit.
    I could put an advert on here that says "wanted 748, but it must be a bargain price!" :)
     
  15. I saw that Brands Hatch one and wonder what that’s all about - can’t be ‘official’ can it? Google didn’t turn up much.

    @Bowjangles there is a nice looking R on eBay cor C£10k

    I wish I had more money!
     
  16. ticks the boxes ^
