[Ozz]

RIDE mag this month has a feature on the 916.

Basically they have bought a 1997 one with 25k an no service history for £2750 and are going to see how good it is.

This month is about the 916 and not sepcifically this bike and next is the strip down.

Sat there reading it in the bath I spotted the VD sticker and then 'Weeksyracing'. So I guess this is the one Weeksy recently sold? I think he bought it from a DSC member too?

It certainly is weeksys...

It had a service history when it went to Weeksy,cant imagine he would have thrown it away.

I was confused...I thought the 916 on the front cover was the one they had bought, which I thought looked great for 2k!

I was stunned to read the prices dealers were looking to pay for a 'mint' 916: £1700 - £1800 have they really dropped to that level?

Some good tips in the mag though about buying used 916's, checking the headstock plate etc etc.

Good read but read the whole mag in an easy afternoon

I think if they have dropped to that level i will be buying a few more. i suspect its more likely that the press havn't quite got thier facts straight as per, and are going from some suspect bike buyers guide.
hell even junk on ebay with mismatched panels and gallactic mileage and lots of track history are worth more than that.
