  1. Not mine I might add:)

    I'v been watching it on e bay.
    800 odd miles and a full race engine (whatever that means).
    Was it a bargain ?.....can someone who knows enlighten me please because I'm not that bright.:Shamefullyembarrased:
     
  2. The trouble with this bike is that i doubt it will every get started up never mind used. What a waist of a cracking bike. Best to put it in a museum I think and spend a quarter of what you've spent on a 10000 or so miler and enjoy it. After all that's what there built for isn't it? I love my 749 and use it 90% of the year and it's never missed a beat. It's not the 'R' model but it does everything I want it to do and puts a massive grin on my face nearly all the time. Although I have to be honest it's no fun in traffic but I put that down to me being to daft to let go of my youth!
     
  3. Seems a bit odd that it's got all them racing gizmo's on....but I'm just curious that's all.

    Who ever bought it must know it's worth.
     
  4. Sometimes bikes are bought by people with more money than reverence and do actually cane them.
     
  5. As long as the seller and buyer are both happy. I bet the seller is more so.
     
  6. Takes all sorts. Wonder if they'll buy my old DR for 3k...

  15. The race kit was very expensive but there was quite a bit to it. I remember MCN doing an article on it some years back. I think the the whole lot including the kit was about £16,000 all in. It was certainly a lot at the time.

    I know someone who paid £8500 a few years back for a carbon model and it was only a stock bike with more miles. He was frightened to use it!!! and when I met him the furthest he had been was down the petrol station!!!!!!!
     
  16. maybe it says something about the potential audience he is looking to attract ..
     
  17. :smile: I would buy it and give it good thrashing to within an inch of its life then polish it :upyeah:
     
  18. Ive tried to thrash my 999R around the nurburgring a few times but the only one that ends up fucked is me.
