I've always fancied one of these (along with a Jota, Augusta and a few other exotica) and this looks such a good deal.

Pity its christmas and I've got to spend my money on presents for other people rather than presents for myself

I was looking at a very expensive nr750 from the same seller earlier.

Not my cup of tea the vmax, personally I would rather have the bike you already have.

That does strike me as cheap for a fairly standard example. I've seen 'tarted up' aka ruined examples change hands for more. Personally I'd rather have one of the IL4 muscle bikes but still, I can see the attraction especially at that price Smile

For a pristine example with only a few thousand miles I dont think its overpriced at all.

£1600 is incredibly cheap, and the seller must have been very desperate or it wasn't a very good example.

Seems over priced for what it is to my mind - presume you're paying for the 'cult following' thing.

Just ride your busa and get a big picture of a the V-Max. You get to look at a pretty bike (presume that's why you like it) and ride a much more capable one Smile.

G, I would say you have no soul, but your probably right. I just like the pretty bike and would probably tire of it very quickly Crying or Very sad
