Not to be confused with the regular R1 this is the top of the tree & the 1st incarnation with uber low miles & owners & IN excellent condition! IF YOU CAN STRETCH TO IT, GO FOR THE "M" SO MUCH MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK ... just look up the spec. (Brushed aluminium tank, OHLINS electronic suspension, proper carbon fibre fairings, etc. etc. INCREDIBLE BIKES) HPI clear, in superb condition with almost new tyres, new chain & fresh clear MOT & I will do oil/filter change for new owner (or offer small discount if you want to do it). All books, keys (including red one), service history, all old MOT's, lots of tasteful extras & the cheapest on the market (BY A GRAND & WITH HALF THE MILES) so NO OFFERS PLEASE! Will consider low mileage px (except HD sorry!), but please bare in mind I have priced this to sell quickly & will only offer you a trade price for yours. Beautiful genuine example of this amazing R1 that I rode for 1st time today for MOT & it rides superbly like an unabused R1 should, best & smoothest quickshifter I have ever experienced as well. Handles like a new bike - well it should do with such low mileage!

THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION OF MV's FAMOUS F4 MODEL ... RR THE "312" BIT OF THE NAME REFERS TO THE TOP SPEED ACHIEVED BY THE BIKE IN KPH (194 IN MPH) This beautiful RR 312 comes with a fearsome reputation for hyper acceleration, which only relents when it hits the rev-limiter in top gear & trust me having ridden it, IT GOES ... & with the "F1-V10" sounding BODIS quattro exhausts (£2,000 extra) my God it screams & howls enough for anyone - truly magnificent sound! This particular example comes in for my money, the much rarer & better stealth like livery of metallic black & gun metal grey, with red accents & as with all MV Agusta's it's "Motorcycle Art" from every angle with the inimitable 4 tip exhaust, single sided swing arm, lightweight forged Marchesini wheels, Brembo monobloc brakes & big chunky Marzocchi forks which have just had new fork seals & oil Just 17,100 miles backed up by clear HPI report for new owner, 3 previous owners, all old MOT's & part service history, with original presentation pack, 2 keys, owners manual, service book & tool kit. This MV has been used & enjoyed with a really steady MOT history, (engine sounds perfect & runs a treat starting on the button) & not kept as a garage queen with seals & water pumps drying up as a consequence & these MV's don't like not being used. Consequently it does have some minor marks/stone chips consistent with it's age (15 years now) & mileage, so don't expect a new bike & I have priced it extremely competitively taking this into account, especially with having 2k worth of exhaust, really excellent private plate & I have just had forks done, oil & filter & brand new MOT put on it. The only advisory was on the front tyre which I have deliberately left for the new owner as it is a very personal thing but it does need doing & again I feel the price takes this into account SO HERE IS A GORGEOUS PIECE OF ITALIAN EXOTICA FOR THE PRICE OF AN EQUIVALENT R1, BLADE OR GIXXER & A LOT RARER MOTORCYCLE!

30th DEC 2024 Been a stellar year for some classic bikes sourced & these were my personal favourite choices from the last 12 months! What's yours? Chapters: 00:00 2002 SUZUKI GSX-R1000 K1, 1of only 2 OFFICIAL CORONA REPLICA MACHINES SIGNED BY FRANKI CHILI INCL.

FOR MY MONEY THE BEST LOOKING JAP BIKE OF ITS ERA. 05:55 1989 KAWASAKI GPz900R IN THE MUCH RARER BLACK/GOLD LIVERY, AGAIN BEAUTIFULLY FACTORY STANDARD CONDITION INCLUDING ORIGINAL BLACK CHROME EXHAUSTS - UK BIKE & KILLER LOOKS. 06:59 1977 HONDA CB750F1, GENUINE 1,962 MILES FROM NEW! ORIGINAL NEVER RESTORED UK EXAMPLE THAT RAN BEAUTIFULLY. WHAT A FIND!! 08:08 1983 KAWASAKI GPz750 TURBO, UBER RARE BEAUTIFUL LOOKING BIKE THAT RAN "TURBINE" SMOOTHLY & AGAIN IN GREAT FACTORY STANDARD CONDITION. 09:38 2002 DUCATI 748 - PROBABLY NEVER SEE ONE AGAIN LIKE THIS ... 57 MILES, YES 57 MILES FROM NEW & STORED PROPERLY AS EVERY FIXING & FASTENING HAD ZERO CORROSION OR RUST - ABOUT AS NEAR TO NEW AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. 11:11 2016 MV AGUSTA F3 800 REPARTO CORSE AMG, RARE EDITION OF THE 1 YEAR MERGER WITH AMG, NUMBER 297/350 & 1 OWNER ... THIS BIKE I NEARLY KEPT, IT'S FANTASTIC TO RIDE & THOSE LOOKS ... SHOULD BE OMG NOT AMG! 13:18 1976 KAWASAKI Z900 - WOW, THIS BIKE WAS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY & THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. WITHOUT DOUBT THEY WERE THE BEST LOOKING BIKE IN THE 70's - IT's No 1 BECAUSE OF IT'S CONDITION & HOW IT RODE.

Just landed ... THE ORIGINAL VERY COLLECTIBLE NOW CULT SUPERBIKE that started a revolution 40 years ago! Japanese import back in 1998 & just had a serious refresh by proper enthusiast including £1,000 worth of new old stock MIKUNI flat side carbs, NOS seat, excellent condition original exhaust PLUS valve check, new YSS rear shock, service & thorough going over - VERY VERY NICE EXAMPLE. Comes with original seat, carbs & will be an historic & classic as of 2025. Best nostalgic livery - just read the success story of these slabside bikes. These really were the first proper lightweight superbike that are just beautiful to look at with such race pedigree, hard to find like this now! FINALLY rode it today in 4 degrees celsius (brrr), damp & drizzly & grey ... BUT WOW ... goes like a missile once properly warmed up, very very impressed with its speed, brakes & new rear shock damping, bloody loved it but would love a dry warm day, and that exhaust note is sublime on full chat! Great classic ride for someone.

THESE TRX850's ARE FEW & FAR BETWEEN & GATHERING QUITE A CULT STATUS NOW NEARLY 30 YEARS OLD! QUIRKY LOOKS & A PEACHY PARALLEL TWIN, THEY ARE REGARDED AS AN APPRECIATING FORGOTTEN GEM & A GREAT "ROAD SPORTSTER" & HUGELY STISFYING FOR A MODEST OUTLAY, EASY TO RIDE, ECONOMICAL & OLD SCHOOL! This particular "gem" is a great find with such genuine low mileage & factory original & a great provenance. The original owner sold it to his good friend after 4 years of ownership on the proviso that if he ever sold it then he would get 1st refusal, sadly after 21 years he passed away & so the original owner bought it back. It had hardly been used over his 21 years of ownership so he spent an awful lot of time & money re-commissioning the bike to get it ready to enjoy again. However after a couple of nostalgic rides he decided it was time to sell it on & so here it is ready for the next lucky custodian to enjoy As you can imagine everything is with the bike - 2 original keys, all books, tool kit & original part exchange purchase invoice from Bikerama of Hornsey on 28th Nov 1996, I think every MOT from new & a batch of invoices for all the work recently completed, all in the original dealer wallet. The service book has the 1st service stamp from Bikerama but then as is typical of the older generation they did their own servicing (probably took more care than a dealer) & his recent re-commissioning includes: New Bridgestone tyres New brake pads/fluids Carbs stripped ultrasonically cleaned Oil & filter service New fork stanchions & seals Coolant Motobatt battery Chain & sprockets PLUS lots more! SO TO SUM UP - THIS IS QUITE A RARE CULT BIKE WITH SUPER LOW MILES & OWNERS HAVING RECENTLY HAD AN AWFUL LOT OF TIME & MONEY (Over £1,000) SPENT ON IT & IN EXCELLENT FACTORY UNTOUCHED ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH SUPERB METALLIC BLACK PAINTWORK, CURRENT MOT UNTIL NEXT JULY & READY TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE Don't miss out on a great bike for modest money

BACK IN 2007 WHEN THESE WERE RELEASED TO VERY HIGH PRAISE, THEY WERE DUCATI'S NEW FLAGSHIP SPORTSBIKE & NOW YOU CAN BUY FOR CERTAIN - A FUTURE CLASSIC ITALIAN STALLION FOR EXTREMELY REASONABLE MONEY. LOOKS TO DIE FOR, BEAUTIFUL HANDLING BIKE & THE DUCATI UNIQUE SOUND MAKE THIS A GREAT PURCHASE FOR ANYBODY'S GARAGE! HPI clear (report included for next custodian) with just 2 owners from new (last one from 2009 when only 2 years old) great service history with loads of invoices on file & stamped service book, both original keys, key card & all in original dealer wallet, even original dealer number plate, tool kit, original fairings & paintwork, all books & just had fresh MOT, belts, oil & filter & new chain, tyres are matching & good, so needs for nothing! The bike has done 27,182 miles & has lots of regular servicing with regular belt changes, valve check done & lovely clear MOT history showing regularly used and this only equates to 1,500 miles a year (by the looks of it mostly sunny days!) and many a mechanic will agree with me that it probably benefits from regular use & servicing rather than being stored & not used and seals etc. drying out. If anything this mileage proves it's a good engine when some low mileage examples have known to implode. I think the fact that it has been virtually a 1 owner bike doing all the miles speaks volumes & the condition reflects that. It is 17 years old & so do not expect a new bike, especially considering mileage & in particular the fact it is the cheapest 1098 on the internet! But please look at the photos & video to see it is a very very good example with no cracks in the fairings, no scrapes on the mirrors, not dents, dings or anything untoward. MOSTLY FACTORY STANDARD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SMOKED DOUBLE BUBBLE SCREEN, SHORTY LEVERS, CNC PARTS & THE UBIQUITOUS OPEN CLUTCH BASKET SO YOU CAN REALLY HEAR THE CLASSIC UNIQUE DUCATI DRY CLUTCH "RATTLE"

THIS DUCATI IS SO MUCH BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, BEING THE "S" VERSION & LATER 2018 IT COMES WITH EVERY GISMO YOU COULD POSSIBLY WANT, JUST GOOGLE THE BASIC SPEC & THEN ADD SOME ... PLUS £600 WORTH OF LOVELY "PIKESPEAK" TERMIGNONI EXHAUST, PLUS I'VE JUST HAD £1,468 WORTH OF A FULL "DESMO" SERVICE BY HIGHLY RATED "DESMO SHED" (Just look up his reviews - this is a thorough job & YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY FOR ANOTHER 18K MILES!) ONLY 1 OWNER, LOW MILEAGE & COMES WITH TO NAME A FEW GOODIES: Gorgeous clear colour TFT screen Ducati Quick Shifter & Blipper Insane amount of rider AIDS/settings with usual traction, ABS, wheelie etc.etc. Electronic suspension Cruise control Heated grips Hill hold control KEYLESS IGNITION Back-lit switchgear LED cornering lights Bluetooth connectivity SERIOUSLY THE LIST IS ENDLESS PLUS+ this one has the superb Termi, crash bungs, evotech guards, Rizoma brake & clutch reservoirs & SAFETY PACK & NEW REAR TYRE (FRONT IS EXCELLENT) If all that isn't enough & you want panniers then just buy some new ones for little money, just search: MOTEA INTERNATIONAL - (decent full sets for as little as £200!) A GENUINE DO-ANYTHING DUCATI SUPERBIKE AT AN AMAZING PRICE I have all keys, owners manual, tool kit & part service history with V5 showing ZERO previous owners. Current MOT & just detailed & these bikes have 9,000 mile service intervals.

THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST EXAMPLE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW - TRY FINDING ANOTHER! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO Truly amazing time warp example which has been beautifully maintained & loved in its long life with all books, keys, memorabilia & runs like a Swiss watch having ridden it for its 1st time today to take photos, since being dry stored in 2019 after a £2,000 re-commission (not restored). I put a new battery on, filled the dry tank with expensive but worth it "ASPEN4" (ethanol free fuel you can leave for 4 years with no carbs gumming up or hydroscopic issues) & she ran like a dream. I can honestly say the BEST OLD CLASSIC I HAVE EVER RIDDEN, super light gearbox, turns in beautifully & smooth powerful 750 four that is more than capable - the fact it is an unrestored bike with crazy low mileage means it literally rides like a new bike straight out of the factory - I loved it! What new bike do you get for 8K that can hold a candle to this piece of quality classic motorcycle with electric start & HONDA reliability & is actually a breeze to ride? Apart from the front indicators I think everything else on the bike is completely factory standard/original, with literally a microscopic amount of patina due to its originality, & the locks, seat closure, switchgear are all so tight & precise that whoever gets to be the next custodian will be over the moon. Even the original & now uber rare audible indicators still work with their funny bleeping so you don't forget (watch the video). SO I HAVE 2 ORIGINAL KEYS, STEERING LOCK KEYS, OWNERS MANUAL, SERVICE BOOK, VARIOUS INVOICES INCLUDING THE BIG ONE IN 2019, SOME MARKETING MATERIAL & MAGAZINE ARTICLES, HAND WRITTEN LETTERS FROM THE LATE ORIGINAL OWNERS WIFE WITH ACCOUNTS OF HIM RIDING IT WHEN NEW & OF COURSE V5 SHOWING IT IS AN ORIGINAL UK SUPPLIED BIKE - GREAT NUMBER PLATE TOO! What's not to like - someone needs to snap this up ASAP & ride it on high days & holidays - bikes like this with such provenance & pedigree & for such reasonable money by todays standards don't come along often - believe me - I spend my life searching!

THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL BIKE & HAVING BEEN DONE AGAIN FOR SPEEDING I AM GOING TO LET HER GO! IF YOU CAN FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE WITH THESE MILES & CONDITION AT THIS PRICE POINT THEN BUY IT, I HAVE OWNED ALL VARIANTS OF THE R1's FROM THE ORIGINAL '98 4XV to 2018 2CR & THESE 1st YEAR "BIG BANG" (CROSS PLANE PROPER NAME) MODELS ARE ALREADY BECOMING DESIRABLE & ARE THE LAST R1 WITH NO DRIVER AIDS - A PROPER VISCERAL RIDE & PERSONALLY MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE MODEL IN EVERY SENSE, SOUND AMAZING ESPECIALLY WITH AKRA END CANS, QUITE LAZY TO RIDE IF YOU WANT BUT BLISTERINGLY QUICK WHEN YOU DESIRE & LOOKS TO DIE FOR IN THIS MUST HAVE MATT & GLOSS BLACK COMBO WITH THE GOLD WHEELS. Provenance wise it's perfect (otherwise I wouldn't have bought it) with 3 keys, including VERY IMPORTANT red key, all books & fully stamped service history all in original dealer wallet with original number plate & tool kit & I have just done oil/filter service with MOT until June 2025 & put a lithium battery on as they take quite a bit of cranking these engines. Only extras are obs the Akras, black levers, smoked lenses & ubiquitous R&G tail tidy, pillion seat cover (think I have pillion seat, original lenses & baffles). Condition is absolutely excellent with only the tiniest of any road marks commensurate with age & mileage & I don't think it has ever seen rain (certainly not in my time or last owner who never rode it) & the BIGGEST attraction for me was how tight & fresh everything feels & for an R1 it really has been loved from day one which really shows. On start up there is NO death rattle which these 14b engines are notorious for (not actually a problem for them just sounds horrible) & she rides/stops as she came out of the factory & not like a hard abused R1! I've now had through my hands & ridden 31 R1's so I like to think I know my way around them & this is a really genuine unabused example, hard to find like this.
