Very reluctant sale of my very very clean 1098S that many of you will know from my build thread, I wasn't expecting to sell it so soon after finishing all the work I've done, however needs must. It's an 07 plate 1098S with 9500 miles, full service history and just had a large amount of work done at Baines Racing: Belt change and full service Removed forks and sent to Ohlins for complete rebuild (all bushes/seals etc) Bled brakes Fitted new airbox breather pipe Fitted Samco hoses Suspension set up Geoff also commented that it's the cleanest 1098S that he has seen. Looking at other bikes for sale else where and taking into consideration the parts currently fitted and the work done I'm looking for £8750. The bike is currently fitted with the following: 14th tooth DP front sprocket Progrips Black CNC 1098R esq footpegs DP Seat DP carbon sprocket cover DP carbon air tube covers DP carbon under seat side covers DP Carbon rear hugger DP Carbon heel guards DP Carbon exhaust shield DP Carbon clock surround DP Carbon V DP Carbon belly pan DP Carbon & billet fuel filler Carbon moto dash Carbon moto under dash shield Carbon moto underseat Carbon key surround Carbon front tank cover Carbon swing arm cover Speedy moto under panel sliders R&G front fork sliders DP clutch DP Clutch cover Exact start hi cap cable Oberon clutch slave cylinder SAMCO hoses ASV short brake and clutch lever in black with red adjusters R&G tail tidy and micro indicators Polished 70mm Termis with air filter and chip Kick stand, rear brake lever, shift lever and both peg mounting brackets anodised black LED running lights HID's Almost new Bridestone Battlax tyres DP indoor cover Front and rear stands Will also be supplied with all the original parts.
I know it's really not ideal, however I'm carless at the moment as my lease just ended and my wife isn't working, added to that I'm now in America and then Afghanistan for the whole summer! If it doesn't sell then I might look to split it.
That is a stunning bike and if I did not buy my 848 EVO last year and spent an absolute fortune on her to get her how I want her I would of snapped this up as you have made my dream 1098s with your spec. Long shot but if someone could buy it off you with you having the option to buy it back once your back and things settled down as I can see you have put your heart and soul into her and even if someone bought her off you it would still be your bike. I not only feel bad for you having to sell her but bad for your bike as I bet she will miss you as much as you will miss her as stupid as that sounds.
Thanks again for all the comments, like you say I've spent a lot of time researching bits and money buying them! It's been a proper labour of love. Just remembered it also has a trickle charger, DP bar end weights and DP oil filler.
I am off to the US with work a week today for a month so won't be available after this weekend for 4 weeks.
