For Sale Ebay Bikes

  1. would put it down to one of the tolerable hazards of ownership myself. I don't think that will hang around, at least two dealers currently have similar, with higher mileage, fairing and cosmetic "issues" for almost twice the price.

  2. Chris, don't you've the available space.;)
     
  3. I'm just about to read your Pm with interest.:thinkingface:
     
  4. I've not seen a 1098r for under £20k in recent times, which would you prefer out of the two motorcycles if you'd the chance to purchase.:thinkingface:
     
  5. Not seen a 1098R actually change hands for that sort of money for the best part of a year. Pretty sure the last one to be put up for sale here was £16k and that took time to sell. I not looking for an 1198, I have a 1098R :D Andy
     
  6. You lucky fella perhaps we can have a pretty picture of the said motorcycle.:thinkingface:

  7. Until Jan this year I lived 5 miles away from where this bike is located. He had an 1198S listed last year, but put me off viewing it. He then listed this SP for around £12k a couple of months ago, I contacted him about viewing it, and over night he put the price up £2k. I'm looking for a bike to put a couple of thousand miles a year on, so a 1299S seems like a better option for around that money.

  8. Your probably right as buying an R you could strip thousands from the return sale value in years to come.
     
  9. I'd have seriously considered it for £16k, but it was never offered for that AFAIK. Plus I think it had hardly turned a wheel since having a big engine rebuild.
     
  10. Plus I reckon the SP is just an 1198S with an alloy tank and a TTX shock. Both well worth having, but not for an extra £4k.
     
  11. Having looked at the relevant posts, it was offered for £16500. Andy
     
  12. Unfortunately that market forces for you with the extra factory spec.
     
  13. By that point I'd probably put DV's back up...
