1098 1098r And Bayliss Owners Advice Needed

i did look at the james hillier bike he had for sale but even thats expensive for a superstock bike.

 

i popped in to DD classic this morning. sales guy looked me up and down (but i used to it, so no probs) . checked their prices , - approx double to what you can get from other places for similar models, but they do sell a lot of cars. i think some people just want to buy from certain places so 50k£ extra is not a big deal.
so sheffield place probably the same- just catering to different people to us

 

Yes, I think you have hit the nail on the head there, some people will only shop 'posh'
You look quite posh btw, if a little dishevelled

 

Posh and Sheffield in the same sentence??? Oxymoron?

 

Hey ! I'm posh. I know this for a fact, as when I was scanning through the record of contactless payment on my phone the other day, it read.......ALDI, LIDL, LIDL, LIDL, ALDI.

 

Hey, watch your mouth southern boy. I went to school in Gren'ill when I were a lad. I understand that it is now known as Greenhill, so definitely a lot posher than it was . Andy

 

For the record I will accept a bid of £20k for my R model.
But seriously, I guess if someone is willing to pay silly over the odds prices then who are we to turn it down ?
" no no mate, it's only worth £15k , you keep the extra "

I cant recall where but I noticed an SP5 888 for £30 k . That REALLY took the biscuit !!!

 

It's all relative, when compared with your manor

 

I may live in the south howeverI was brought up in South, East and West Yorkshire...

 

Lol looks like its time for us 1098R owners to celebrate! Whens the party chaps ?!

I do wonder though...that MCN article...is that the reason they've shot up so much? And would the prices have shot up as much without it?

 

I have no idea where these figures have come from. The Ducati Worx one is still there at £18500. The last one to sell on eBay fairly recently went for about £12750. Andy

 

Oh dam, I bought one in January didn't I - how come everything I buy goes up in value

 

Isn’t that a good thing if you care about the value?

 

Yes indeed

 

Didn't he pull an advert and relist it for a lot more money when the MCN piece appeared iirc?

 

A guy that works for me is from Sheffield, he say's it's shit and he can't wait to move over here permanently. It must be if he's prepared to move for the money I pay!

 

Or buy this for 15k€

 

Nice, tasty system too

 

Very tempting, counting the coins right now!

 

How come it has a numbered yoke? Is it a Baylis?
