Must have been one hell of a crash to snap the frame like that!

LUL WUT Laughing

How do you manage to destroy a bike like that and not damage any of the other major parts Ie. Engine, wheels, suspension etc. Almost looks like its had a huge load gradually applied than a crash. Or a crash with a very fucking sudden stop Shocked

The identity stays with the frame, i.e. new frame = new bike.


As for why it broke, maybe Shervin lightened the frame with some tactical drilling.

That's just down the road from me. Keeps popping up when I'm doing local bike searches.

So add in a frame and thats £6771 before plastics. (which I would guess add another £1000+ to the price)

Then there are all the parts that 'LOOK' ok but aren't Laughing

Fuck that, your into brand almost new bike money.

Lind BMW had pre-reg old models for £8995. A very, very good price for what you're getting (not sure what spec that was, but either way, that's pre-credit crunch super bike prices for a new-age bike.)

What do we think of the Aprilia Tuono? I really fancy one but not sure if I would prefer the change from a supersports to one of those? Plus reliability?

how is that cheap ?

as said above even if all parts are replaced with second hand item the only good parts id use from that scrap pile are the pistons as paper weights.

This... Although I do love them, want the v4 so badly! watched someone come into town on one, stall and almost drop it, then he couldn't start it. Talk about all the gear no idea.

Back on topic. I know its silly over priced really, he must not have gone through
His insurance though duo its trying to make as much money back on his 12k bike
