I wonder how high the reseve is?

robin

Robin

Who's "Karly Fogarty" then??

You'd think that he'd manage to get his name right.

Strange place to locate fluid reservoirs:o

What's it worth then peeps? What would you pay if you had the spare cash? (Great for track days, no doubt - but just think what a fantastic road bike it would make!)

Well I have to admit weevee, I'm watching it carefully.
reserve is probably around the 14k mark, which is quite a bit of cash wonga to be honest at the moment.
If I can convince the wife (more expense) it's not just another toy, I may go for it.
Will probably have to sell my 851 to free up the extra cash if to fund it.
As they say, watch this space.
Could be moded for the road, but not really a ideal plan.

cheers

Go on,you know you want to Robin:)

No mate,they are in the standard position for the race bikes.
What a lovely thing to own,...........if only I had the spare cash!

well i'm highest bidder, but not got that reserve yet, it can't be much higher, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee:o:o
looks like a groveling chat with the bank manager again is on the cards again.

cheers
Robin

Altough, for £15k you can get this awsome machine,( http://www.carclassic.com/bikes/html/pages/DK40.htm ) which is a newer (94) bike too, probably had less previous owners aswell.
something to compare between the two sales I supose.
If ebay item gets close to £15k without reaching reserve, i may go with the other.
still way over my budget ( was'nt looking for another 8xx until today).
Still a way to go yet, things could go completely pants aswell.

Oh! Go on then....I'll have two!:pig:

I think's this'll go for more than 14K, quite a bit actually. We'll soon see, so make sure you offer the bank manager the first born son, Robin.

I`m inclined to agree,14 bids in the first 3days:o

:eureka:Well I`ll start the ball rolling chaps £15,500 :D

Currently being led by netapps1 ?? Tim? Surely not?

Nah not tim tp, it's me, and I will not go over £16k ;);)
could get a nice MV with some change otherwise.

You don't work for Netapp as well Robin?

I think will need to see this bike in the flesh before I increase my latest bid.
Just in case it's a total heap, you can never tell from pics, it may have been thrashed and trashed more than a few times in it's history.

i think this is going to be a bit EXSPENSIVE, might be worth asking him what the reserve is.
I would of thought it would be around the £17500---£18000
He's going to want alot for the history
Have to wait and see

That's all assuming it's exactly what he says it is. I guess there are a few bikes around that have been raced, crashed and rebuilt so much that they bear little resembalance to the bike that "recer X" actually rode. I guess the four on Ebay might be "as ridden" by Haga and Haslam at the moment, but in 10 years, who knows what bits might have been changed.

Rgds, Rob

hi rob, one thing does bother me abit about this bike.
The subframe does not look correct for the bike.
all the pics and details i've checked, don't show an early or late corsa or similar bike with that much subframe showing where the exhaust bracket attach to the silencers.
looks like an early 851 subframe on a late frame.
fuel tank also looks to be incorrect for a 92 corsa bike, the fuel outlets were on the lower edge of the tank, not at an angle like these.
Possibly the bike has had some big repairs in the past, but surprised they did'nt put the correct subframe on it.

i could be totally wrong though.

The golden rule when buying ex-race bikes of some significane, is to only buy them from Parc-Ferme. If you don't then you simply get some facsimile thereof. So, Rob is quite correct.

spoken with a few people who know the bike, seems very unlikely that it's in original condition.
It used to be yellow at one time, and it's lost it's 60mm system aswell.
probably lots of other changes too.

Still a nice bike though, may have to reconsider it's value now.

Yep, I can't believe it was factory raced with standard top yokes. Where are the mag jobbies?
