Hi guys
The book Nat mentions can be bought at your local Asda. (Saw it only last week).
Beancounter: (RE 851) This bike has been for sale a while now. It looks a good un too!
http://www.vintagebike.co.uk/Bikes%2...cati%20851.htm Robin: I bought the mag with the (Italy) SPS for sale last week, since I was interested in the MV over the page. I thought this particular bike was the one you were actually looking at. Seems expensive to me @ £20,000 - but what do I know..?? If you're intending to keep it long-term, I guess it'll hold its price (if the mileage is kept down). It's not going to appreciate much beyond that amount though!! If you're looking for a bike to use regularly (and maybe even gain a little on resale), you'd be better off with the SP5 advertised on the same page. £7500 can't be bad. There's little difference in spec. between these machines - and think how much you'd save on initial outlay! (Of course, this is letting the head rule the heart - and that's not always easy to do. At the end of the day, you'll just have to go with your gut feeling).
