Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with the very greatest pleasure that I am chuffed to censored to announce the arrival of the latest addition to the Randle fleet.

Bought from those recommendable chaps at Square Mile Motorcycles, and to be collected on Wednesday, its so damn good-looking that I have already had a producer on the test ride thumbup Good to see the City of London Police are looking out for us, in truth.

I am somewhere between cloud9 and the terrors at the difference between her and the CBR. But oh yes, she's a stunner....

Well done mate. Welcome to the exclusive Italian V-Twin Club. She looks a beaut with black being the fastest coller. Except when the black bike is a 2006 R6 living across the road of course. laugh

Lovely bike, I'm liking the juxtaposition of Akrapovic (sp?) and Police van evil

Even the modest-looking plate? I've not lived in the UK for years and have no idea what is legal these days. Great looking bike - congratulations on the purchase!

If it has been in there for a couple of months, I have indeed touched that very bike.

Very nice. And judging by the weather the last few days...a good deal?

Congrats on the producer

Hate you, hate you, hate you!

Wow, gorgeous bike. It's an SP isn't it? Yummy, especially in matt black! Wheels look a bit noncey though.

I've only been seriously spanked round Cadwell by 2 road bikes and the Mille SP is one of them! Sooo much torque and they sound great.

Would you mind e-mailing me with the numbers involved please?

I'm soon to be back in employ and getting mighty tempted to spend.

There's been an SP for sale in the PH classifieds for ages now - been tempted myself a few times. Don't know if it is still available - hell of a bike!

Not an SP as far as I know, a boggo RSVR.
Apologies for the wheels - blame Oz Still, at least there's no rim tape...

No issue with numbers - £3900 for a 2002, 28000Km bike. Full service history, no obvious trips down the road. Second child enforced toy disposal by all accounts, so a nice low price, everyone happy.

Collecting tomorrow, so more impressions as we go...

Awesome deal Marcus. Has the insurance been sorted about your tumble already?

The SP for sale on here was way overpriced IMHO.

Yup,pretty much, as Anniesdad is, as stated elsewhere, a major star.

It doesnt have that much of a bearing on the purchase, as when salvaged will be coming home to skulk until Spring, then will be trailered around as a track bike.
