Well if it’s a kit car all I can say is thank goodness @Exige didn’t have to assemble it himself, the automotive world would have been fully electric and more by the time they happened if the Kwaka’s anything to go byWhy would you like a kit car, there are so many fine cars around these days
I have seen that bike before somewhereGratuitous selfie.A bit indecorous, but meh.

Servicing costs were discussed, you may have missed that bit.
I've finished 2 major garage projects this yearWell if it’s a kit car all I can say is thank goodness @Exige didn’t have to assemble it himself, the automotive world would have been fully electric and more by the time they happened if the Kwaka’s anything to go by
Not me, I paid £16,250 for mineAh yes , the mythical " Gift of Vision " .....
But joking aside , when I mentioned a Lotus to go with the 1098 , I vaguely remembered that
someone on here had picked up an Exige for a bargain price of £16k ......
.....and given your username ...... that wouldn't have been you by any chance , would it ?
So anyway , to get back on topic , have you got the numbers for the next lottery draw ?
..... let me know on the QT , it can be our little secret !
PS - @Robarano
forgot to mention earlier ...... that is a gorgeous bike !
mind you, it's only worth £50k now, I've had bikes go up in % value more 
It was a digital Christmas cardHmmm, that’s a swiz then, and misleading. The time stamp on the post was around 8pm last night. The previous days post had been about all the Norton’s they had in. The whole thing implies they have them in stock
Fooking scammers, they’ve ruined a perfectly good bike threadIt was a digital Christmas card
Like I said wrong 'unsFooking scammers, they’ve ruined a perfectly good bike thread
yeah I guess running it up in the shed going brum brum will affect the oil ... and the 2007 tyres....

A post popped up in my Facebook feed this morning, from The Bike Specialists (see below). It tells how they presently have 5 of the Desmosedici RR to sell. Yep, not one, not two but FIVE for sale. Clearly there are that many people off-loading them, but why?
I know there are a few on here who have one, I know there are a few more who would like one, but is the fact these guys have 5 to sell at the same time in the same place an indication of anything?
For any reader not familiar with the Desmosedici there’s a good overview here.

Who’s to say they didn’t sell, they may well have done.
They own a large % of their stock but yes they do commission sales too.
) and returned me more than I was going to advertise it for. IT was more than likely a world record price for the model. They charged very little commission tbf. They returned 'well' under £1k to cover all the advertising, showroom and commission costs and warranty (including supplying a new battery) and I got more than £1k more than I initially expected and it was sold within 3 weeks to a collector who will no doubt keep it for a few years years and double his money as I doubled mine 
They own a large % of their stock but yes they do commission sales too.
He's totally wrong about the commission - they achieved a 5 figure sum for my 1999 R6 (with original tyres
This burns away at Andy's heart I know not why - he is bitter and twisted when he could be such a happy lil guy, it's beyond me why he has these tantrums.
I always knew I'd get in there one day
Dedication's what you need...
That because I'm in it perhaps
Who came up with the valuation/advertised price, I presume you both had input?They own a large % of their stock but yes they do commission sales too.

I was thinking last year to ask £8k - but when the last R6's from 2000 are just over £12k I thought it might just have a chance for more if a collector wanted it.
Oh, the zero mile one they had when I was there for £70k has sold then - that is a different one
looks like it sold easy with zero miles as they are asking £70K again for that low mileage one!!!

I think AC should jump at one quick before it's too late
That’s a handsome profit. There’s money in this bike investment malarkey if you’re clued up, you only have to look at your recently sold Bayliss for evidence of that.I was thinking last year to ask £8k - but when the last R6's from 2000 are just over £12k I thought it might just have a chance for more if a collector wanted it.
I purposefully asked them first what they could see it ticketed at in their showroom first - they agreed it was difficult to value but said £10K. So I suggested £11K which they agreed
There certainly does seem something about those 1098R’s, strong money and no sign of going down.The Bayliss was a 'given' as it's a 1098R, the new owner will also benefit form the 1098R's excellence also

Weirdo, mine is on the road where it belongsHe'll benefit knowing that the R version can turn the corners between the fridge and the dining table better than a standard version
well, waiting for spring anyhoo
