Spotted this on eBay, 2010 sport model (ABS, Quickshifter, Traction control) 3500 miles on the clock, and the owner has spent over £3000 on modifications alone.

Nobody wanted it due to him owing finance on it, took a took a 350 mile trip with Philly46 to go fetch it...what a fooking rough place it was in London, the bloke answered the door.... In his pants, and spoke with a strong russian accent Laughing I thought I was going to get tasered in the neck and thrown down the cellar. Luckily Philly was right behind me, so far behind me that he had walked back to the car and locked the doors! He took me through the squat he called a home, round the back and underneath a blue tarpaulin covered in wood was this shiny gem Smile

Never been so happy with a bike, even better was the 5 boxes of standard parts, a tyre changer and wheel balancer.

Gave him £9000 for it. Now all we need is a bit of sun.

So you've paid some Russian squatter £9k for a bike that's owned by a finance company?

Wanna buy my 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale? Only £10k CASH, no need for a 350ml trip, I can meet you on a motorway service area near to you.

Nope, rang black horse there and then, explained everything, and paid it off over the phone using my card, phone was kept on loudspeaker all the time, and I called the genuine Black Horse number just to make sure.

Russian? At risk of channeling our SA friend, that'll explain the vast amount of carbon tat!

Still, I'd let it live in my front room any day of the week.

Yes. Super rich. That's exactly what I gleaned from the OP too.

R+G bung has marks, I assume the original panels and exhaust are scuffed up?

Looks nice, but I'm not keen on the carbon.

Was kept down a very tight alleyway made, only a few inch each side, all standard panels and can are immaculate. Thumbs Up

He did take a pretty picture of your fathead.

While his cat ate his fresh raw chicken breast on the kitchen counter.

As if the S1000 wasn't ugly enough already, you had to buy one with £3000 of carbon extra chav. Sick

Its real owner will, at some deeply suppressed level, be happy that it's being ridden by someone! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
