Very, very nice...

I love 888's...especially the SP4's and SP5's, but they deserve a better home than I could give to one :(

One day, I might get a house with a nice garage.

Chaps, yes it's one of two SP4's that Forza got in a couple of weeks ago and sold instantly.

No, I cannot disclose how much I had to pay ! (you never know who's watching...)

That's not my garage,, it's the back of Forza's showroom (there's no room for a telly in my garage, it's full of bikes ho ho)

Jasper

Jasp, if I trash a bike on a trackday, I think the SPS is more easily fixed than the SP4 ?

Very Nice

It is true about the front fork seals, they leak like buggery. I had mine rebuilt at KAIS earlier this year, they "modified" the seals and all is well so far, they are dry as a bone.

The SP4 is the best bike I have ever owned, enyoy it
