748 (RS) Advice please HI I have a 748 race bike that due to health and finances I haven't used for some time. It's a 1997 748BP frame (clean with V5) but the motor has RS heads/cams, ti pistons/rods, lightened/balanced cams, STM slipper clutch, pulley adjusters, along with 54mm Termi's, Ohlin's shock/fork internals, alloy sub frame, rear sets, power commander etc etc along with spares, wets on wheels, stands etc. The original owner spent a LOT of money on it at Moto Rapido. My question is, I need to raise some money so am I better off selling as a whole or pulling it apart and selling the bits? I have no idea what any of it's worth or whether anyone is likely to be interested. As a new member I can't advertise it for 14 days so would welcome some opinion in the meantime please. Do I chop it? What are the bits worth and what's a track bike going to fetch in the current economic climate? Thanks S |
Hi, Can you post some pictures? Cheers |
It sounds like it is not a true RS,if i am right in thinking that?,its a sad fact that these bikes are now worth more in parts than as a complete bike,if it was built as a special from a original road bike then its only worth a fair bit complete if you find someone who wants a bike to that exact spec. Some pics as suggested and complete list of the parts on it will help,that way people may make you a offer on the bits and you can start to decide if you want to break it or sell as a whole. |
1 Attachment(s) No it's definitely not a true RS, the V5 says originally a biposto Unfortunately it's buried in the garage at the moment. Once the bike and bits in front are removed (mate collecting it in a week) I can pull it out and take some more pics. I have to be honest and say I don't know much about Dukes, but the guy at Moto Rapido (think they call him Dr Desmo?) confirmed it did have the bits it said/ work done by him and it was set up by Rich at Luigi Moto before I rode it only the once (before personal circumstances meant it got packed away for winter and never ridden again). |
Can one of the mods please move this to the For Sale section please? Unfortunately I'm now non-weight bearing for 8 weeks so can't strip the bike but if anyone wants to make an offer for the complete bike, or put requests in for certain bits (which I will strip in due course) then please do! Cheers S |

You should be able to post in there now if the 14 day limit has expired. Just copy and paste the bits you need into a new thread. |
