What amazing feat of engineering and technology, all the way back from the early 90s. Honda doing what they do best.

£38k? I'd rather have a Desmosedici thanks.

£38,000 Surprised SO someone got 6000 miles out of it and no depreciation.
I bet servicing costs a lot on one of them.

The shop that is selling that bike is a local bike shop (where I got my hornet from). And believe me those photo's really don't do it justice. I love having a good look at it when ever I go in.

Everything on it just looks high quality.

Fastline superbikes is great, loads of import bikes in there from japan, loads of 2 strokers, very friendly staff, but u need to bust their balls if you order a part or ask for a part.

It was actually worth less 14 years ago £37,500 IIRC.

Yep oval piston 32 vavles V4, 750cc 130bhp.

If you look the body work is only a few peices, the front is one whole piece as is the tank to the arse. If you break the screen it costs £3000 to replace (something about it having titainum in the middle?)

It is amazing I have spent many an hour glazing at this beauty Laughing

Think of inflation though. 14 years ago, £37,500 could have bought you a mansion probably

Sorry, am I the only one thinking that is a shit bike.

What's so special about it? The looks? The power?

It looks like a bog standard track bike to me.

Truth is, I wouldn't pay 8k for it, let alone 38k.
