Just been into motorapido to check out xmas ideas and they were just wheeling in my dream bike...

2000 996 SPS, Ohlins model, 987 miles ! its better than new, lots of carbon everywhere and simply perfect.

Dont want to start that old debate again, but it was in the workshop next to a 999R and 749R and it STILL looks the best bike ever!

They are selling it on commision for a collector who has been keep it in an aircon'd garage and only taken it out to get it serviced (some people have all the luck / money!)

time for a second job!:(

I was thinking the same - I've already covered 6500 from new since February 2005. Was gonna go for a blast today but it is FREEEEEEEEEEEZING & damp here!

Might just sit on it for an hour...:frog:

Aye, it looks a bit of a bargain. God bless these "collector" types because it means guys lke me get a bit of a bargain now and then :burn:

.. phoned and spoke to the shop after checking out their website and spying a nice bike. Seemed like a fairly good bunch. Anyone had dealings with MotoRapido and able to comment on the service they received from the sales staff/servicing?

I'm remaining impartial but nice to hear feedback on dealers as i'll probably not visit unless i decide this is DEFINATELY the bike for me.

ive delt with motorapido before and they've been very freindly and helpful on the phone. i made a trip from cornwall to see them when i was looking for my ducati but no-one came over to say hello and ask what i was looking for,bit disappointing but maybe the sales guys not very pushy !!

now i own a ducati they've been fine when ive ordered stuff from them

Have nothing but praise for the guys down at Moto Rapido they run an excellent shop. I would have no qualms about buying a bike from them.
