    Hi Guys

    Putting my pride and joy up for sale as it’s time to finally buy a house. I’m open to sensible offers and in no hurry to sell as I really want to keep it and I’m secretly hoping one of my other bikes sells first and saves this one from the misses.
    It’s in December’s fast bike as a centre spread

    Spec is as follows
    BST wheels
    Brembo m4 calipers
    Brembo hpk 330mm discs
    Brembo rcz master cylinder
    Ktec fork inserts and rear shock
    Ohlins steering damper
    Austin racing inconel full system
    Pcv
    Sprint filter
    DP lightened generator kit
    Sigma slipper clutch
    Bike sport delevlopments auto blipper kit
    Performance parts top yoke
    Alloy rear subframe
    1199 front subframe
    1199 valve covers
    Ducati performance Parts
    Levers
    Rearsets
    Fuel cap
    Comfort seat
    Full six carbon everything inc
    Electric box’s
    Huggers
    Radiator surround
    Air intact
    Infills
    Mirrors
    Side stand etc etc
    R&g tailtidy
    1199 indicators

    I’ve forgotten bits in this list but you get the general idea. I’ve spent a fortune and I know I’ll lose money but I’m looking for offers over 15k and your thoughts of what it should be sold for

    Thanks in advance

    Dan

  2. You're into 1299 territory at £15k so a specialist buyer is your only limited audience, lovely bike even if the only thing related to the original bike is the decals :) you're competing against standard 2015 bikes for under 10k. In my humble opinion it's steep even if the value of the parts is considerably higher

  3. Yup. If I had 15k I'd buy a 1299s or an 899 for 9k and spend 6k on hookers and kit kats.

  4. How light is it?

  5. I'd strip the extras off and sell them mate, £15k I just don't think it'll move especially in a private sale.

    Just being honest.

  6. You want to take it easy on the Kit Kats.

    Nice looking bike!

  7. Really nice, thats how I'd probably get mine looking when I eventually pick one up.

    Unfortunately think one is a little over spec for my wallet

  8. Last time I weighed it all I’d knocked 36kg of it but I need to weigh it all again as I’ve done a lot more since but probably only know a couple more kg off

  9. So around 135kg dry?

  10. I think as above, strip and put back to standard and sell wheels etc separately. PITA but only way you'll likely get anything near what you want :)

  12. Cant be that light....20kg under a SL.
     
    #12 bradders, Oct 22, 2017
  13. Don’t know dry I’ll dig all the figures out tomorrow and add them up again and stick it on here, just trying to remember of top of my head, the exhaust knocked loads off and the wheels where 8-9kg as wel

  14. Nice bike but 36 kg in weight saving????

    Are you saying this bike weighs 133kg ?
     
    #14 BladeRR8, Oct 22, 2017
  15. I’ll try and get it on some scales this week and see but I’ll add the part weights up tomorrow
     
    #15 ginge46, Oct 22, 2017
  16. That's why I said what I said. There again the parts could all be made from carbon fibre lite and unobtainium. :)

    Good luck with the sale mate,i had my 899 up for 15k had a couple of sniffs but stripped the expensive bits off,sold the bike for 11k and got 5.5k for the bits.was well worth it in the end to strip it,i even swapped a few bit onto my 1299.

  20. Sadly, I'm with everyone else. It's almost certainly worth the money, but I worry you'll struggle to get it. Labours of love rarely pay you back, I find.
