V4 Superleggera

[TonyF]

Order placed for December delivery hopefully.

Very very nice.

Road and track use for you? I’m not sure my stress levels could hack riding something like that.

She’s a beauty, sir.

[TonyF]

Lol,
Me to, I struggle trying to max out on my V4 speciale so this one I may just keep in its crate for now !

Very nice!, think I’d be a bit nervous riding a bike worth that much though.

[TonyF]

Don't plan on riding it,

[Walter Sobchak]

Seems a bit of a shame but I get why, I imagine given the limited numbers they’ll be a good investment.

[TonyF]

That’s what I’m hoping but I’m sure the temptation to put a few miles on her will be to be much to bear over the next few years of ownership !!

[duudiz]

That’s proper special. Fancy a swap for my 09 zx6r when you are bored of it?

[MrGman]

This is why I have no money, I’m useless at making financial based decisions.
If I was buying that I’d be out on it at every opportunity

TBH, whenever I buy something like this the intention always is to put it aside and watch it go up in value ( hopefully) but in the real world this rarely happens unless the relevant markets go your way !
In reality, yes of course I want to ride and drive them somewhat without piling loads of miles on and just enjoy them because as you quite rightly say “ not sure I could own something like this and not ride it”. Very true !!
I consider myself very lucky to be able to afford these things and in my mind they are better long term than money sat in a bank earning next to nothing.
Bikes and cars have always been a weak spot for me so this will probably come back and haunt me sometime but for now I’ll continue to enjoy the purchases for as long as I can.

Christ on a bike I just looked at your garage!

Well fking done!

Fit some handlebar muffs and heated grips and that's a brilliant winter hack


I mean, it's what I'd do if I won the euromillions this week. I'd try and get a topbox mounted to it as well.

edit - I am serious, if I had the money it's what I'd do (muffs and heated grips at least). I know of a chap with an RC30 and he puts on muffs and rides it all year round.

Nice choice there Tony, did you take the WSBK experience or the MGP one with it ?

[TommyBuoy]

Cambridge? I was there Thursday and saw it. Lovely looking thing.

ETA just saw it says Cambridge in the background

Wsbk is included, MotoGP experience is only if you get picked out as only 30 places for that one plus its an additional £30k if you want to do it...

Very very nice, congratulations.

When you're keeping bikes with no intention of riding them do you "mothball" them so to speak or will you keep it ticking over every now and then?

They are all covered up and plugged into battery tenders in heated garages and yes I do fire them up every couple of weeks just to keep things moving and lubricated internally.
Occasionally ride them aswell.

An expensive bike you cant ride. Perfect.
