815 '89' on Ebay.
 

You all need to take a look at the 851 for sale on eBay. I could not believe it when I saw it. It is a beautiful example, well designed – well worth the money.

Mmmmmmm........not sure.........but the underseat exhausts look quite good. Sounds like it has been done properly so shouldn't be hard to put back to standard. I imagine the conversion was done when the 916 was expensive to buy and the previous owner wanted a 916 but couldn't afford one.

Might go cheap.you never know.

Yuck!

Why do people do it? :barfy: :barfy: :barfy:

There's another thread on this somewhere else on the site.

I think it's truly horrible. The irony is that if it was in pukka 851 guise it would be worth much more (and also more than a 916 would fetch).

You only need to read this months PB to see how sought after reasonable 851/888's are becoming, 916's will probably have to wait another 5 years for their retro revival.

You do know I was being Sarcastic about it being Beautiful... I may have to bid for the poor thing... to save it.

Ahhhh....Got me! Sarcasm is sometimes difficult to detect in a post :rolleyes:

It's mine
 

I've brought the bike, it needed me, it was upsetting me to much.

Now I'm going to cut it up and make a low rider (JOKING).

What did you have to pay for it out of interest?

Rgds, Rob

Finally found an 851 then mb :cool:

Could be a good buy if the price was right as he claims nothing was modded to fit the 916 style body work and all the 851 bodywork comes with the bike:)

Yep finally a 851 back in my garage... would have liked to brought the SP2 for sale, BUT my misses is just about to drop (e.g 7days overdue) I throught better of it.

I paid £1800 which makes up for the styling. Why! Why! Why!
