1299 Xxx Superleggera

Surely the question is why is there a xxx labelled one ?

 

Answered with a quick Google, there were a small batch of xxx/500 bikes dispersed globally so by no means unique and were Press / Demo bikes, seem to be regarded as second class citizens to the numbered bikes.

 

If I had the money to burn I would buy it - strip all of the road gear off and see just how Superleggera it could be! And then track the shit out of it!

I can but dream!

 

Saw somewhere online one for sale with 000/500 in the top yoke.

 

There it is: https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/...-superleggera-000-500-dortmund/292232577.html

With an equally intriguing price tag...

 

History shows in every case earlier Pre Production bikes will be worth more than production bikes in the future - here is a pre production (not even a prototype) CB750 Honda. Probably 10 times the price of a Concourse CB750 K0 and it's a pile of scrap...

This is back on the market. If you were buying to use it, its a great way of saving £10k.

 

That fella with the carbon one has done that already

 

That'll do very nicely!

 

I would need 10 times my current income to even consider it.

What did they cost new? £50k? Not a great investment in all honesty.

Imagine how good you could make an 1199 by buying one secondhand for £10k and then spending even just another £10k to make it better? Saved - £15K

I'm happy that these bikes exist, but its not something that has any buying appeal to me.

 

Now why doesn’t the V4 Streetfighter look like that ?

 

That’s stunning!!

 

It’s a Roland Sands Design Superleggera.

Proper trick that

 

It was in @cookster garage at Silverstone. JHp customer. Belive it started as an SL2 until and unfortunate event

 

Now that’s special

Wonder if he would let me weigh it??
