Spied this on eBay (Germany delivery only :( ) and it's listed as a Hodgson 2000. It can't be as it's a factory 2000 bike by the look of the decals. Any ideas?
[Edited on 14-4-2005 by Twinfan]
Cant be Hodgy's bike,he never rode in Infostrada colours,.....did he??:puzzled:
I would say its either a Foggy or Bayliss test bike.

All it says is that it's a Hodgson 2000. Infostrada riders in 2000 (these are the 2000 decals) were Foggy, Bayliss, Bostrom, Borja and Cadalora. Minichamps doesn't list a test bike as a previous model and I can't see the rider number on the bike. Also, the 2000 WSB bikes had titanium termis not carbon!
A strange one!

The 122001204 number is the 2000 Hodgson INS bike, but the model is the 2001 Bayliss InfoStrada test bike!

I didn't know they made the Bayliss test bike - I've never seen it listed anywhere...
worth a word to the seller maybe?
Just asked the seller for details about this bike and for a clearer picture, see what happens.
[Edited on 15-4-2005 by adam]
the seller has just sent me different pictures and it has the number 1 on the number boards. looks like a Bayliss bike but didnt know he rode a black bike. Did he have a test bike? i will try and get a link to the pics.

If they could ship outside of Germany that would be worth a punt. A Bayliss test bike isn't listed anywhere and it's quite clearly in the wrong box. A rare one?

the box number the guy quotes 122001204 is a Ducati 996 2000 Hodgson, Neil

Bionicle, i have put a bid in, will have to see how high it gets. looks interesting though.
chase you for it
not thats its a hodgy rep,nver rode for gse so ts probably another ebay scammer on the go. why buy a bike youve never seen before
adam, you'll end up bankrup before i do at this rate,did you get the others?
Bionicle
17-Apr-2005, 07:14
The top bid on this is already over 80 quid.
I asked the guy to send me a better picture, its still not in clear focus but it sure is not the bike that should be in the box.
[Edited on 17-4-2005 by Bionicle]
is this a Bayliss test bike? i have bid on this but think will stop as i am unsure it is worth that much.
i'd guess at it being a foggy test bike if its a 2000 model, didnt know he rode a black one or even minichamps making one mind you but it cant have been bayliss as he wasnt world champ back then
£160 in the end, crazy money for a bike thats completely misadvertised
and yes im sober tonight unlike my last post on this thread
[Edited on 17-4-2005 by deej]
I'll let you know exactly what bike it is when it arrives at my house!Misadvertised-maybe?Overpriced?depends on what you are after.If it's either a Bayliss or Foggy 2000 it's cheap!;)
well done mate, get in there. I have bids on other bike so had to drop out on this one, worried me a little not knowing what it was. cant wait to find out though. you could possibly have a very rare bike coming.
ah the mysterious top bidder
i'll be very interested in what bike it is as im sure you will be
Thing is,the only bike i REALLY want to get my hands on is a Bayliss 2000.So,i'll proberbly end up moving it on in the long run anyway,to finance the Bayliss if one ever comes up.Same as the Bostrom 2000,that will go as well.
Twinfan
17-Apr-2005, 22:56
I reckon you've got a Foggy test bike in a Hodgson box. It's a 2000 Infostrada with carbon cans (not titanium) so that's my best guess. Maybe it's a demo that never made production? If so it'll be a nice one to have!
I reckon it's a Foggy too.You can just work out the Italian flsg/st georges cross on the end of the screen.
Twinfan
17-Apr-2005, 23:02
It's the 2000 paintjob too, not the 1999, but it has the carbon cans of '99. Must be a test bike, or prototype of some kind? Can you post some decent pictures up when you get it and work out what it is???? :)
Twinfan
17-Apr-2005, 23:08

fair play to you jasper
which bayliss model is it you want so bad
im glad you could all see the little details as i couldnt
Twinfan
18-Apr-2005, 09:32
The Bayliss 2000 is his Infostrada bike - the one he took off Foggy...
Deej,
I'm after Bayliss 2000 as Twin fan said.So,if you see one-let me know!!
i dont think they released a 2000 model of bayliss, i had a look at a old minichamps catalogue and the 01 model was the first bayliss bike
remember 5 years ago was when they first bought out the 99/00 foggy reps, it took them until the end of 2001 before they started producing more
i may be wrong but i dont think so
chicken
18-Apr-2005, 20:43
Maybe a silly question but I've got one of these (not a signed one though)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=37117&item=6956305374&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
My question is, can the fairing panels come off? There's obviously lots of detail underneath the side panels that I'm interested in seeing but I don't want to break it.
Twinfan
18-Apr-2005, 20:51
You're wrong Deej:
MODEL NUMBER 122001221
DUCATI 996 2000 BAYLISS, TROY
where can i get one of these catalogues?
chicken
18-Apr-2005, 20:59
thanks Jasper - is it just a case of yanking them off or is there a trick to it?
Just carefully ease the fairing away from the bike. They do come away easily. they look good underneath.
chicken
18-Apr-2005, 21:07
cool - thanks Adam. Will play tonight.
thanks twinfan
as i said i may be wrong it wasnt in my catalogue
try trax models and see what they send you, theyve been pretty good with me

19-Apr-2005, 17:29
Don't want to appear smug,but i've got a Bayliss 2000 model!!
The only problem is i'm after the other rare ones!!:ninja:
they are out there, just need to part with big pound notes to get them.
Baylissboy,what you need to do is get rid of that common Bayliss 2000 and get a rare one like the Bostrom 2000!!:D
how can you tell the difference between the 00 bostrom and the 01 bostrom, ive got a bostrom but was never a great fan of his
why the fuss about the bayliss 2000 too, whats so special about that 1 ???
Basically the Bayliss and Bostrom bikes are the same as the Foggy 2000.Ie Infostrada Corse colours.The reason they are so rare is because both Bostrom and Bayliss only did half a season on them.Bayliss 'cos he replaced Foggy after his crash and Bostom becuase he got sacked.Sorry,a sideways move to another team!Any bike from 2000 is uncommon,because they were all alot more of a limited run compared to now.

ws it 5 years ago thast foggy crashed, didnt bayliss only do 2 meetings that year and be replaced borja who did surprisingly well
they were definetly a lot more limited back then, i can remember the original 99 foggy bike selling out within days then they decide to re-release the models and ours have gone down in value
Yep,that's right.Bionicle,if it does You can have it,i'll just cancel the cheque!!!:D

Yep, my Reynolds is coming from overseas. I'll be picking it up from the local DHL depot tonight :D I wonder how many our mystery supplier can get? I think I got the last one 'in stock'.
I'm still not convinced about that Foggy test bike you know - it's not an official release so maybe it's a prototype of some kind???
I'm collecting all the BSB related bikes to date and I have them all except the Hodgson 2000. I'll find one eventually, but I'm not paying stupid money for one!

I agree with you,i don't like paying over the odds for them but needs must i suppose!!
I keep kicking myself,because at first i only collected the ones i liked the look of,so i could have had them all for the RRP if i'd bought them as they came out!! Now you have to pay silly money for the early ones,but if you want to complete the collection you have to bite the bullet!!:lol:
I'll buy all the latest ones as they come out from now on!!
I think i'll have to move into the 999 & Moto GP race bikes as the 998's get fazed out!!
But i'll only ever collect the Ducati ones,you'd need a lottery win if you wanted them all!!:lol:

I'd be interested in selling as I don't really collect them and only bought it on a whim.

[Edited on 20-4-2005 by Wylie1]
looks like i have found a reynolds going for 85 euros including postage, just waiting for confirmation that it is the 2000 model. yahoooo.
I havent limited myself to collecting one make or type such as WSB, i will be going for most of them, i know it will take some time but I will get there.
So would my 2000 INS Hodgson bike be as rare (and therefore as valuable ) as the either
1999 Corser Bike #11
or
2000 Bayliss #21
the corser is worth a lot more, then the Bayliss then hodgson. I think i am right, come on then Mr S how much do you want for your Hodgson?
Asked about the others because of seeing these
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2876&item=5175498327
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2876&item=5166631886
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2876&item=5166630051
So if the Hodson is of slightly less rarity, I'd be looking around the £250-£300 mark.
Although it looks like it may be worth e-baying.

Twinfan
20-Apr-2005, 19:44
I personally don't think the Hodgson is worth over £200. I certainly won't be paying crazy money for one. The 1999 Corser is the most desirable and therefore deserving of crazy money.
agree with TF between £150-£200, there is one on ebay now, Baylissboy is going for it.
If I see a Corser come up then i will be sending the wife out on the final day of bidding, couldnt have her around when the pound notes start to rise.:D
OK,
I've put the ebay one into my watch list, and whatever it sells for I'll sell mine for.
Seem fair?
Can i have first call Mr S?
Yep, no problem

I'm only after the BSB bikes, so I wouldn't be interested in a 1999 Corser if one came up. I reckon if you can get one for under £400 you've done well.
I'm leaving the Hodgy on eBay for Baylissboy as promised. I'm expecting you and him to help me out once you've got yours though!
A 2001 Hodgson for £40 is pretty much the going rate. There's plenty of them about.
£200 already, could be quite a shock in 3 days time. BB might have to empty his piggy bank to get this one.

Just like school days eh?
£500 quid for a corser is silly money
the ncr was the first chili model and thats why its so popular, maybe the imola one has a special appeal to it, different graphics or 200 race, justa few suggestions
im glad im not the only one out here collecting these models
Trouble is deej if you want to complete a collection then you may well have to pay silly/crazy money for one. Although it depends on how long you are prepared to wait to see if a cheaper one comes along.
my main collection is the rossi which i have a model from every year ( may expand to every model now ) which also includes kr jr so i have all the motogp winners and bsb title winners bikes which i have all of them so far
it wasnt worth collecting the wsb winners as minichamps havent produced a sp2 for the colin edwards years
to complete the full rossi set i need a 2001 gp bike, the 2003 repsol, ( valencias already on order) and a gauloises blue 04 and 05 models
adam u2u me your contacts if possible, im interested in saving a bit of money on these if possible
cheers
I would love to see an Edwards come out, that was a very nice bike.
deej i now have all the Rossi bikes, with his 125/250 and Valencia on order.
They do make a great collection.
You want my contacts? are you serious? only kidding, I have bought nearly all mine off ebay deej, i have found a place in Australia where i am getting my 2000 reynolds, £60 delivered. I will u2u the details.
