I wonder if it's been chained to that post for the past few years, judging by the rusty discs and dust of the front mudguard. £2k tops i reckon

Been talking to Frederik about this bike and was tempted to pop over and fetch it but I'm feeling the price is holding me back. Crating and shipping to the UK is only £250 which would be about the same price as fetching it, weekend in Amstersmoke and a new bike in the stable. Tempting. but then I start thinking SB6 ummmmmm.
I'm valuing it at no more than 3K. what do you guys think?

 Bike prices are dropping still. The high end Rc30's and 888 sps's are on sale for months and even years sometimes. I know you want another toy but unless it was way less then 3k I think it wold be a mistake. If you did by it then, of course, another sb6 would come up for the same price! So i could buy it
I actually do want a yb9 but going to wait for an sri to come up like Lammy's...

Hhmmm, I'm sure Lammie will correct me if I'm wrong but I think his is the precurser to the SRi, and is the SR infill just after the first SR but before the Sri the intermediate model had carbon air duct intakes on the face of the front fairing rather than just holes and the Sri also had these but the farings had breaks in them to enable easier strip down, the small parking light atop the headlight then got integrated into the main light, would you want an engine though where Bimota had fitted the fuel injection?? |

I'm with 2bims, I wouldn't even consider this bike if it had injection Pomp's
.....And yes of course your right, I'll wait for an SB6.
Out of interest, the blue SB6 with the piers Dowel £3.5k paint job that sold on eblag a few months ago (that i should have bought) has now been painted back to standard, red/black

hmmm, I guess you are both right of course... I preferred the last of the carbed gixxers to the first few injection models.

| Having ridden an SRI from North Linc Moto a few years ago, that was mean't to have the best of best possible tunes installed to make the erractic fuelling more managable, I can categorically state I would rather remove both testicals with a blunt spoon than have to go through that experience again. |
