It's probably not worth the trip to Italy, i've had my Strada for 2 years now and in that time i've seen about 4 or 5 good SP's come up for sale, so if I were you i'd wait for a good UK bike to come up. Keep checking here, ebay and classicmotorcycles site and you'll find one. As for the performance difference, not a lot on the road. It's more about the exclusivity of ownership to be honest. Plus if you do get ans SP you'll probably be real scared to use it hard whereas a strada, although quite rare now in itself, isn't impossible to source parts for and fix up in the event of blow up / accident. Mine's got SP forks and an ohlins shock, if you add a single seat and a better motor like Rob then I think you'll have a more useable every day bike which still turns heads. Cheers, Lyndsay. Ps...keep the faith! |
