Which Bike Do You Most Regret Selling ?

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Richard H, Dec 26, 2012.

  1. 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 ,
     
  2. Triumph trophy 650 1969 and 1996 gsxr750.But I wont sell my ducati.
     
  3. All of my 916/8's....

  4. Definitely my 1980 Laverda Jota 180. Sold for £2,000 in 1984. Now? £10,000?
     
  5. 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!

  6. Would have only been £1325 back in 1984 according to that website ;)
     
  7. 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!!
     
  8. Both my 250lc's, my 350lc and my ltd edition John bloor S3.
    I'd love another LC.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
     
  11. they have promised £13200 so no on this occasion.
    the insurance wont allow salvage buy back
     
  12. They'll sell it to someone.

  13. They can sell it to breakers as a parts only bike. But the frame will be scrapped along with the v5
     
  14. 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.
     
  15. What a fantastic bike. I'd love that. I realise that probably hasn't helped soften your sense of regret. :(
