Does it come with an MOT?

Wonder if the brake fluid's been changed in 11 years?

Amazing that having only covered 1K (presumably dry) miles that it has fender extender fitted

Assuming the original owner paid retail price, which would have been around £8.5K, not much of an 'investment' was it

It will be interesting to see if it actually sells. It's too much money to buy it then ride it (especially as it's old technology now) and is it really rare enough to stick on a shelf? will it appreciate in value that much over say the next 10 years?

Bit of an odd one really in "my 'umble opinion" -

In addition, for your £10K you get 10 year old tyres (Metzeler M1's) and some Caledonian Lock & Safe stickers on the side of the tank! Wonder how long they have been there?

What you don't get is a seat cowl or a number plate.

And they could have polished the headers !!

I think it's only worth at anything over £6k - is as an objet d'art, but let's face it - it ain't either of these...............

Modesty prevented me from including that.............

(or the bike that brought italian sex to a Japanese design - the 2004 R-1

)

There are quite a few bikes which you would happily have as a feature in a good-size hallway in a house (SP-1, SP-2, 916, 996, 748, MV F4, NC400, HP2s, Bonneville, Trident, Commando,)

The BCR is the "ginger-haired step-child" in that company.......

Alas, I don't have a good size hallway so mine lives under a pile of coats in the garage

Well the common mass produced RWB one is unlike the rare single spark Mamola ones

Is that the bike, or the ginger haired step - child?

I think the blue seat cowl is now "NLA". Also, can people stop posting pictures of R1200S Replicas!!! It offends those of us who have original 1200S s (is that how you make it plural)

Compared to some of the other bikes they have for sale it seems a bit of a bargain.

He got some hope but it only needs one fool to part with his money.
