Re: looking to go back to R1
This was taken last year just before the tt. Bikes now got an original uncut undertray and genuine yamaha reflector and bracket fitted. The bikes done hardly any mileage since the TT last year mate. It is a cat C however from many year ago after suffering panel damage. Loads of history with the bike

Re: looking to go back to R1
Hi mate. The other bike isn't for sale. I'd be looking at £3500 for this bike.AKO R1 wrote:can u give me details and price for both thanks neilcarsonr6 wrote:It's a different bike mate, I've got 2AKO R1 wrote:thought it was hpi clear from your restoration descriptioncarsonr6 wrote:This was taken last year just before the tt.

It's done 35k miles with loads of history. Last year before the TT it had new brake pads and fluid, oil and coolant changed, all bearings greased and the shock was changed for a good second hand item and checked over. The exup valve was serviced too. When I came back from the TT the clutch was slipping now and again so I fitted a brand new Barnett spring kit and it done next to no miles since.
I'm sure the MOT has expired but I'd put a year back on it. Bike is completely standard apart from braided lines and EBC discs although could put standard discs on if needed.

Re: looking to go back to R1
The way prices having been going this year I think you'll be looking at £5k upward for a completely original standard white and red bike. The blue bikes seem to be a bit less thoughAKO R1 wrote:ok thanks for update but if i was going to part with that 3.5 grand i would prefer a hpi clear thanks

Re: looking to go back to R1
I know this bike and Rob, drove 650 miles to get it, if you want a bike that is the best you can get for 3.5 then look no further, Rob is and engineer and a bloody picky 1 at thatAKO R1 wrote:ok thanks for update but if i was going to part with that 3.5 grand i would prefer a hpi clear thanks
