If you want a 600RR try John at Hunts Motorcycles in Manchester on 0161 432 1303, top bloke who will sort you a good deal on a new or used one. Tell him Shaun sent you coz he won't have a clue who or what BDG is!

aaahhh....Hunts.....got my first bike from them (a 200 Benley before they added the conservatory) and about 2 minutes walk from the shop I grew up in.

I remember peering through the shutters to look at the bikes as I waited for the number 50 bus to school every morning.

Memories......

Mr C

does this mean that you have yourself been previously too expensive to repair commercially but have been safely returned to the road?:lol::devil:

Sorry to hear about your Duke.I have a 996 which went down the road and was luckily able to get repaired.I also bought a Honda 600rr but the other way round
i.e for the track and the 996 for the road.
Can't speak highly enough of the honda,does everything well,but no character unlike the Ducati.
If you change your mind and are after replacing your 996,I am considering changing mine,let me know.

Track it Mr C than you wont be whinging about not wanting to scratch it on track.

At £200 I will have it off you as it will be a good bike for the track.

You know you want to but will the Ggirliefriend let you??

Get in touch if you decide to move it on, at a profit of course ;)

I kind of knew what OY was going to say even before I read it ;)

Old Yella 16-Apr-2005 11:32

Which bit?
The track bike bit, he knows hw wants to.
The buy it bit, would make a belter track tool.
Or the bit where I remembered him saying he dare not take it to Oulton for a trackday in case he might scratch it :P :P :P, his words (or the GF's) not mine.

Just shows its safer on track dont it now?

From a post I have seen elsewhere it looks like someone is looking for track fairings????
Yeeehhaaaaa, another one on the road to ruin :D
Gis a shout when your ready to roll Mr C and we can try and sort a meet.
