My name is Luke Brackenbury and I'm a staff writer for Performance Bikes magazine. I am trying to get hold of a near as standard 916. Single or dual seat but not an SP, Senna or SPS.
We're doing a feature in the magazine which requires a bike for a static photo. So it wouldn't need to be ridden at all.
I've tried a whole load of dealers and they're fresh out. If there's a kind owner out there who fancies helping out, they'll be rewarded with a pair of spanking new tyres.
We'd need to shoot the bike near Peterborough but it would be collected and drop backed to you by van.
good on you for asking PB, - MCN just used mine for editorial without asking, - holding back the For sale advert, - lucky i sold it through this message board so won't be spending my money on a MCN advert again, - Bitter? Yes they said I could have my money back and never gave it It's about principals or is it principles?
Thanks for all your positive replies regarding this.
The chosen bike will be appearing in the April issue. Which happens to be PB's 20th birthday. Because of this there is all sorts of features regarding things that have happened in the last 20 years of biking. One of the most important bikes we think, and I'm sure you all agree, was the launch of the 916.
Thanks again to those who have replied and mailed me.
