I was offered £7500 for my modded strada with all its standard bits too when it was on the DSC stand at popham last summer !!

But like 90% (and were working on Simon )..of the 851/888 owners in here she AINT for sale..EVER !!

£7500 sounds a bit rich for a '94 strada but the front brembo setup alone is worth £1600 to buy new, so all of a sudden doesnt seem so daft..? People are just willing to pay silly money for very good 888's (remember that guy from Ireland who kept pestering us to buy our stradas WVT..!!?), yet sometimes they struggle to sell on ebay !!?? Weird...

Had a look at that (admittedly stunning!) SP4, and a few suspicions (hang on, let me just do my zip up on my anorak )

1) Yoke says 561..thought there were only 500..?
2) Fairing decals arent right..the number 8 should be white, with a border of grey, then black..?

Mind you...with regards to the decals, the factory just lobbed on what they could find at the time didnt they !!! Wouldnt be surprised if they just ran out, and nipped down the local signwriters to get a few knocked up

And that number 1 on the fairing..are they not laquered on ?? As simon says his doesnt have it either ?!

Cheers
Nat
