These're for the connoisseur, great bikes in my opinion.

 

Don't do it Kevin! These are forever bikes, just find the space and get another!

(Edit: even if it is a yellow one...)

 

Look at those prices back in 2001.

 

I was running a naughty Yamaha R1 back then in blue, i paid £5.5 as the second owner, good times with sensible prices.

 

Sigh... I remember wistfully looking at RGVs as a lad ~16/17 yrs... probably the first ever motorbike that got my attention. The plain-ish blue-white one (no pink) was one of the first bikes that toned down the ripped up graphics of the era iirc. It kicked off a 30+ love affair...never did get hold of one.

 

Preference this scheme

 

I was given one as a courtesy bike from Doble's when the Blade was being serviced by them, black and purple gaphics for memory.

 

The proper one had Lucky Strike livery, until the bleeding heart brigade got cigarette advertising banned from sport

I nearly bought a Cagiva Mito 125 in the same Lucky Strike livery, in 1994/5, but, the dragon spent the money on new windows and doors for the house

 

....and back on the topic!

 

Keeping it on the front page.

 

I raced RGVs in SS400. From orange bib first timer to on-the-pace in the Shell oils national championships of the time. I learned a lot during my relationship with them - far more than I could have imagined - stuff about riding, racing, money, engines, suspension, engineering, running a race team, getting sponsorship, pain and recovery, managing an obsession, and lots more beside. For me they had a really broad window right at the outer edge of grip at both ends that told you so clearly that you were over it, but let you get back in without doing anything dramatic, it was balance, stiffness and geometry far more than just grippy tyres. Good bikes.

 

If I had the monies sitting I'd snatch that off you without even a test ride, it's simply stunning.

 

I had one of those long time back - yellow too. Loved it. Was so nimble and relaxed as a bike.
You'll regret selling it!
