No luck selling??I'm amazed at that.Bike looks awesome.Not too sure about the front number board,but it would'nt put me off.

No serious interest at all.
The white number board wasnt actually my idea,gave the painter a pic for the seat unit!,but as theyd done such a good job,I didnt have the heart to ask for the nosecone to be done again.
I,ll hang on for a week or two,then its breaking for parts time,most of the major parts have buyers.

it's a real shame a bike like that has to be parted out to recoup your investment, i couldn't do it.

Do you mean to say that you will get more for the bike if you break it than if you sell it complete?

I can't get my head around that one:puzzled:

Yes,its(probably)worth more as individual parts than complete.Only had one enquiry for it at £4300,but lots for parts.Whats the cheapest you can buy a 888 for,add the cost of a repaint,belts,injection setup,valve clearances etc,tyres,Odyssey battery etc......Then look at the prices for SP silencers,888 parts on fleabay for instance.

That's a very sweet bike Eric. Like KeefyB I can't understand you having a problem selling at that price with all that work done on it.

I bought my standard Strada for £4,750 which included a big service, new battery, tyres etc...so the base bike was probably about £4K and that was from a dealer, but it doesn't have high level exhausts or a single seat unit, I'll have to buy those for meself.
