Re: bargin? i think not
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...

Re: bargin? i think not
Those wheels have to be at least £1500? Id say the disc's and Callipers will have probably neen near £2000.
 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... |

Re: bargin? i think not
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 !!

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

Re: bargin? i think not
Even the pictures are tiny it's hard to see the mods - clicking larger isn't actually bigger for me

Re: bargin? i think not
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
