So guys ... I'm thinking of changing my '03 BCR. Many of you have seen it at the Welsh/Scottish weekends ... and heard it's rather um fruity Remus exhaust. It's done about 24000 miles would £3995 be reasonable? Too cheap .... Too dear???? What d'ya reckon?

I suppose my question would be, what are you going to replace it with, given the other bikes in your stable. Price seems about right BTW.

Nice choice, considered one myself before I bought my S, but decided they were probably a bit 'full on' for someone just returning to biking after such a long lay off. Still like them though, just not ready to be parted from my S just yet.

I just figure given the Funduro is an Aprilia I already have one in the stable so another one would balance things

Good choice and possibly a bit of change to spare if you went for an earlier model?

However for a few more rupees do not discount the adjustable roomy KTM RC8, another cracking twin with to die for build quality and looks. Or if you fancy an immaculate SP1 ?

The RC8's are also on the maybe list depending on pennies, as is an R12S .... .SP1 what?

All I know is it'll have to be a twin of some sort, I've gotten a bit jaded with fours. My K12GT is an awesome machine but is just so antiseptic.

So if anyones interested let me know ....

Honda VTR 1000 SP1. (RC51) Mucho HRC Goodness (Colin Edwards, Nicky Hayden, Joey Dunlop etc era) and a fraction of the cost of the previous HRC RC45. Not a comfortable road bike, but the build quality and engine are second to none. I have had two of these. Still looks great today 13 years on made the 600`s of the same era look lardy. The RC8 is the only other twin I would part with the SP1 for.

I love BIG JUGS

I've sold my panniers for the 12S, so would take 4.5k for it now.....

Go on, you know you want to!
