thinking about changing 888SP5 for 916SPS

Otto Otto Otto · 06-Oct-2005, 03:00

I have a very nice SP5 and am thinking about a deal against a 916 SPS - does this get anybody thinking??
Please let me know by U2U, as I'm not interested in a big open debate .............. dont take this personally!

Mate,keep the 888.You have got a rare beautifull thing there,The 916 shape bikes are ten a penny.(No offence lads!)
I would keep the 888,polish it,cherish it and keep it for best.
For road riding there are plenty of 748/916/996's about,(You dont need all that SPS power on the road),even in your neck of the woods.

BTW my SP5 is in England, and I intend to import it to Oz fairly soon, unless I do a deal with someone. It's an awesome bike KeefyB, but sometimes a change is a good thing.

Sounds like you have already made your mind up.

Otto Otto Otto · 06-Oct-2005, 07:41

I'm just open to ideas I guess
If nothing happens, then I'll just have to live with the SP5 ......damn!! .................... seriously, I do love it so I am in no way resigned to getting rid - just like to find out what's out there.

I'd get a test ride on a 916/996 and see what you think. You may hate it...

I have ridden a 748 SP and liked it
It's certainly different to an 888 and a bit easier to turn, but a little less rewarding.

NO!!!NO!!!NO!!!!But if you are resigned to commiting blasphemy,have you got any bits you want to sell me for my SP5 before you do!!

You certainly won't have any problems selling it.
