bike never get ridden now I have my kids. Its a lovely bike with loads of trick bits for your added pleasure including all the usual refinements from AP. From memory it has the following
That clutch mod which makes it better (?) Rear sets Proper Brembo front mc/lever The airbox mod thing Battery cables from that chap who does them One of those racing ti pipes that make it sound like it's going to kill someone Proper slipper clutch fitted by griff himself (sigma I think) Almost new bridgestone tyres. I forget which type but they're track derived and modern Brand new chain and sprockets (whichever size AP recommended) I think its on about 12k miles. Has been serviced at griffs place and he knows the bike Sounds great, looks great. It's the matt black version with blue wheels. If you're reading this then you've seen it all before. Im selling cos I'm trying to tighten up on expenditure basically and I will kill myself on it because I have absolutely no self control. I've had it for a good while now and it's never let me down. I also have quite a few decent track tires which can be negotiated for, some warmers, stands and all that kerfuffle. The only thing it needs really is for someone to buy some fixings and put the fairings on properly again cos I lost a few of them when I moved house. They're fixed on enough to ride it at full tilt but it'd just finish it off. £3200 is the figure that seems about reet to me. Let me know what you think. Please don't be negative on my post regarding the price as I haven't really got a clue. If its too expensive then just make me aware please. Thanks guys.

cheers dude. Everytime I turn a wheel on it all I can see is my little kids faces and then it's like my wallet just turns around a sticks both fingers up at me. Time to move on and put the cash into a lovely family car we can enjoy.

But will that lovely family car be much good around Donnington? Sounds like the onset of maturity to me, first the T shirt, now the bike |

I'm good thanks mate,it seems decades ago we met up at Donny, how the family these days? Like you I've not done much riding recently, less than 500 miles on the T in the last year and the Mille's not turned a wheel for over 2 1/2 years. I'm thinking about getting out of bikes tbh. No pleasure road riding anymore and not done a trackday since Spain a couple of years ago so really pointless having a track bike. Doesn't owe me anything though so just sorned and buried under boxes in the garage. I'm spending more time abroad at my eldest daughters place as time goes on so I have less and less time to go riding anyway. |

good luck to you mate.
ive tried it a few times,but i miss opening that garage door and seeing a bike in there. its a horrible feeling once someones rode off on your pride and joy. maybe it just wasnt time fr me yet. i had lots of nice cars,but got sick of new scratches and stone chips every week when i washed it. just cant seem to keep em nice like you can bikes,spose they do get used all year round,in all weathers though. when i do pack in,itll be something robust like a 4x4 for me,take my lad off roading then, something we can all do together. hope you get a fast,no hassle sale and good car too mate,

Don't forget I've seen the speed you can get round there, no way would I try and beat that Especially on old treaded tyres, I have no wish to be a skin graft candidate How is the fly juice these days? I can see me selling the T next year though, the Mille will probably stay just for something to play with if I get bored |
