I was always under the impression that 800 numbered bikes were produced to meet homologation regulations and that 150 were destined for the U.K

I await to be hounded as a herratic and flailed in boiling chain oil

hard to knock a bike that is now £500 more new than when first released

. i think my blood would boil if i paid £20k for a bike to find new for £15-16k.

I think you are under some sort of illusion if you think your bike is worth more now than when it was new!.............ask those that have sold theirs.....electricsheep!

even that one owned by Chris walker for.......800 miles...

I thought they had to make 1000...

If your on about buying a new model....then i dont think there are many 999r owners that paid anywhere near the full 30000 euros price.

With the 749r, the mere fact it was at that price from the start means people are going to "afford" that one as apposed to a 999s.....plus it was cheaper ins etc etc.theres no comparison in that.

The comparison is in the used prices and as a percentage I would guess its around the same................

SORRY guys .... all I asked was how many were made, not the value or how much they are or not desired. Didn't mean to start an argument off.

Yeah your right! this is just what the 996r lot wanted! trouble is, next youll be asking how many are in the club?............
