Thread revival!

£52,000 NR750 sounds a bit more realistic than some of the prices that have been kicked about for them recently!

I understand what makes these bikes so special, but are they supposed to be any good to ride?

Also just noticed the post above RIP

True but at £10,000 miles and 4 owners,I guess its too "leggy" to command the real stupid money...

No idea. I'd imagine they make a pretty special noise. And they're a masterpiece. I doubt it'd be as 'good' as your R1 (or any current-ish 1000), but that's not always the point. A Monet isn't as good a wall covering as a can of Dulux, I know which I'd rather have cover a patch of my living room

Yep, sad to read isn't it - I'm sure he'd approve of us nattering bikes though

Went past the accident spot the other day, and it reminded me of the bloke posting on here and the Alfa forum. Hell I didn't even know the guy but it is saddening when you read his words, wishing for some nice toys for the future. One of the last things i remember him posting about was wanting to get out on the road more and get some more experience.

God, some of these modern bikes may be fast but they are SO ugly...

This is more like it......

1968 Triumph Bonneville.....

Yeah seemed a decent bloke. Were supposed to go for a ride but it got rained off, real shame. Just makes you think, reading the post about what he wanted to own next etc.

[Apriliaer]

I know it would never work, but I'd still buy one!


I own this but would buy another.


Childhood memories - probably wouldn't feel as quick as it did when I was 10 (on flat tyres)!


And an SP-2, just to prove I'm not a complete stroker...

TL1000R, Honda SP2, Ducati 999. All fantastic and unique bikes for realistic budgets.
