i dont buy bikes to look at and have ridden this one as it was intended to be ridden and honestly cannot find a single fault with it - apart from a few minor stonechips to be expected for its age, never dropped etc.

only reason for selling it is I want strappy's sp2 lol

it's done 41k but dont let that put you off as it looks & rides like a new one, doesnt burn oil, pulls like a train, no rattles or awt - as you know, these engines are 100% bulletproof, designed to take 170 bhp in full hrc kit but for the road this one was dyno'd at 129 which is about 10 up on a stocker.

extras,
airblade dark tint db screen
power commander 3 mapped for the cans & k&n's
k&n filters
hi level micron cans (rare!)
original zorsts & linkys (unused)

the only mods i've done are 15T front sprocket for accel, intake flapper mod and hrc quick action throttle tube.

recently had new chain & sprox, forks reworked & new seals / oil, cans repacked, wheel bearings done, head bearings done so it honestly wants for nothing - apart from rear tyre which i'll probably replace before it goes.
it's had 2 oil changes since i got it (in august 2011) as i'm anal about oil changes, and also has new ferodo platinum HH pads which are fantastic wet or dry.

currently has 5mth tax & mot left on it but absolutely no reason it will not pass another 10 lol!

i paid £2800 for this which imo was an absolute steal - i would be looking at getting more or less that back.

can't p/ex obviously cos as i said i am only selling this to buy another. already got a garagefull lol!
tbh ive just had a bit of a windfall so i could hang onto it a bit for the right buyer but would need a deposit etc.

Result! :thumbup:
Never Mind VVTR nothing better to chase the Blues away when loosing an old slow SP1 than replacing it with a newer, improoved SP2 :whistle:

How much did you sell for, if you don't mind me asking? I'd say "sorry to hear of the sale" but seeing as you're remaining part of the fold...I shan't. :D

a little less than i paid for it lol!!!
lets just say when i got it i rode off wearing a mask over my eyes, and the new owner is even happier lol.
refused to drop the price though, apart from the cost of mot cos at the last minute i realised it had run out on the 24th march whereas i thought it had another 4mth.

horrible feeling seeing your pride & joy trailered away innit :/

on a positive note.... i now have the necessary readies to go collect strappys sp2 asap so its not all tears :mrgreen:
