£7500 for a 02 R1?

[custard]

i dont get it...

[ThEGr33k]

That is NO where near standard! Whether its worth that much... :confused:

[kwak zzr]

go to DK's and get a new one for 7k and have change :)

[instigator]

go to DK's and get a new one for 7k and have change :)

And you'd also have an import that points it's lights the wrong way. ;)

[kwak zzr]

DK's sort that.

Do DK now throw in a free Ohlins shock, AP brakes, dymag wheels... plus whatever it's had done to the swingarm. It's not worth the asking price but it's also stupid to compare it to a stock bike frankly, those first 3 things I mentioned alone cost more than my SV.

[kwak zzr]

yea but the R1 is brilliant as standard, are those mods necessary? or worth the extra dosh?

[northwind]

Course they're not neccesary, but they'll make it a hell of a lot better. The guy's messed up by not posting a full list, since it's not a blingmobile most people will just scroll straight on.

But still, not worth the money. He'd probably do better parting it out.

[hovis]

i relise its not stanard and has a lot of extras......... but i donk think its worth the asking price

and why has he not stated all the mods>??

[muffles]

Christ it's like spot the difference....I didn't see anything with the swingarm *goes back to look*

[muffles]

It just seems to have those little paddock stand hooks on the end and possibly a different rear brake? Otherwise I couldn't tell it from a standard one, not that I know intimately what one looks like...

[ThEGr33k]

Those wheels have to be at least £1500? Id say the disc's and Callipers will have probably neen near £2000. :smt108 Ohlins shock maybe £700. Hmph.

The wheels will make it turn VERY well, itll be very niticable id bet.

Then there may be Engine work there too. A shame he hasnt put down what is done...

[Supervox]

Another owner who doesn't realise that he'll never recoup the money spent on extras when selling !!

He'd be better off selling the trick bits separately & selling the bike as stock at a lower price - assuming he's kept the OE bits of course !!

[Grinch]

Its the 12k of stuff and no details that really stupid, oh well.

[Davido]

Maybe he's done it deliberately so only people who can spot the bits will bid.

[Stu]

Even the pictures are tiny it's hard to see the mods - clicking larger isn't actually bigger for me :smt102

[Balky001]

even with all the mods you are still buying relatively old technology for the price of a new bike. You think if he spent £12K its a full system with PCIII and maybe ignition mod. But even then he must have had engine work done for it to come that much.

Just re-red the wording, the £12K was including the purchase price of the bike so depending what he paid I guess £12K is reasonable. As The Vox said, you just never get your money back

I'm not sure exactly what's going on with the arm, it's either a fairly modified standard or a custom build. I'm dead curious now...

Someone needs to tell him to put his spec up so we can all see :D ;)

[custard]

no one ever tell him that aftermarket gubbins do not inflate the price?

[suzsv650]

That bike has got a lot of mods!

Better if it was on a ye old R1, but thats a lot of dosh there!

[sinbad]

"Including the price of the bike, total cost to complete is £12000"

So £4k of mods if he bought the bike new for £8k-ish. He's crazy for not listing them. Looks nice though.

Mainly blinging it up it seems.

Some do. It's not like a screen and a load of anodised bolts ;) But, not by this much.

[suzsv650]

look at the strips too!

Someone with money but not skill

Landing strips those are. Maybe he has just put new tyres on? :smt106

[custard]

should put it back to standard and sell the parts separate...

Thats no excuse!
