Rc8r

Yup I was in Millenium Motorcycles today to pick up my standard Rearsets and have some breakfast when a RC8 pops out of the back of a van .The dude was changing it for a Something else .Its orange and White 2000on the clock and a 12 plate think its around 9 k .my be of interest to DAVE ....................

 

Did you see mine Giv.............I hope you sat on it

 

Yes and left you a little present

 

weird - was looking on biketrader at these today thinking 'maybe a swap for the R1' next year - would need a decent test ride, that R1 is epic on the right road (just a shame we don't have many round Manchester)

 

Might be worth a visit Al whilst it's there!

 

I reakon you'd love the RC8 Al.






Oh and it gets decent MPG cough

 

Defo the next for me over winter shopping

 

Im sure you can buy a new 1 for £10k

 

Colin, seen brand new for 10.5k with px wanted and it was a yam dealer too.

Also piston heads got one with BST wheels etc for just over 9k

Ahh - the voices!

Honda offered me £7k for a 12 month old r1 with 3k on the clock, would have liked nearer 8

 

Suppose it depends on the model year of your bike also Al (09?)
Besides it all comes to the change price and not what you get for yours.

 

Didnt they have issues with oil leaks the RC8 - ( without putting a damper on the thread )

 

Fair, it's a non traction one and you are right its all about the money money money...

 

That was the 08 model and it was all put right under warranty.

 

Ps: Colin you are evil

Thoughts please - challenge would be selling the R1 to fund this

 

Looks a fab deal n you could sell the extra wheels n other bits n make sum cash back?? Plus u wont see many if any at ur local meets esp in that colour, if ur heart wants it go for it, nows time to do the deal when weather pants

 

Problem is shifting the R1 sat in garage, cannot do any deal without that

Makes the brand new one a much easier proposition - new bikes cheaper / easier than 'great value' used bikes like that one

 

I nearly bought one privately,black/orange,11 plate with 995 miles on the clock,had been advertised in autotrader for at least 4 weeks that I know of and the price had come down from £8995 to £7995,would have offered £7500 and maybe met him half way.I think £9750 is too much especially with that mileage,I was looking June this year,test rode one at Craigs Dewsbury,great bike but I thought the blade was better so that's what I bought.Even with the £3000 wheels too much for me,I'd want it for a grand less.
