P.reg yellow and black blade bought new but needed the money, I really used to look after that bike , then I heard someone had street fighter styled it IE crashed it. Bought because I saw the blade and thought I've gotta have it. Had the same motivation with my evo corse ,

So I'm still nearly four grand light! A mate kept all his seventies bikes - various Kwacker triples, Ninjas, a water bottle plus various Desmos and now has 18 bikes and a lovely pension fund to play with at weekends. Amazingly, he's been married for 30 years to the same woman!
It was immaculate - porous head fixed and valve seat inserts done by Phil Todd. Only 8,000 miles. I couldn't manage it after a bad crash and had to learn how to ride again - on a GS750. Plus the buyer must have really wanted it I suppose!!
technically I'm not selling. It is the insurance write off and collection of my 2013 Pikes Peak Multistrada this Thursday (Cat B write off). It has one more years Ducati warranty (purchased as an extra). It was the best around motorcycle I've ever ridden. If I ever return to motorcycling I will get another or very similar.
How long before it shows up on eBay and how much for. They'll sell it on for upto 50% of what they gave you.
I had a tuned RD350YPVS motor, in a modified frame with kwak KR1s, front end, rgv swing arms and wheels - which was built by a friend for me. I loved it! It never blew up not matter how much I abused it (premixed silc pro2). I crashed it and later had it grafted into an alloy TZR chassis with RGV250 front end AND back end. I never had it finished but really regret selling it... Other than that, I sold a KX250 which belonged to a guy who built race engines and that was awesome.. all the other Japs > four strokes have been very good but not so memorable. I had a fast R6 back in 1999/2000 but having rode one since it is not that special by todays standards.
What a fantastic bike. I'd love that. I realise that probably hasn't helped soften your sense of regret.
