Cheers. I love it but I've had my head turned by the new Triumph Thruxton R hence the sale. I fancy a retro cafe racer look for a change now.
 
Few more pictures of her.

I recently saw a review of the triumph along side the bmw r ninet and they do look really good fun.

Not seen or heard a single bad comment about them yet!
Was considering a Norton but numerous reviews of bad oil leaks, poor support and frustration over minor niggles.
 
Nice, I always think the 748`s look better in yellow. I had a brand new 748S 16 years ago and managed to blow the engine up on it after just 600 miles! :eek: Luckily Ducati assumed it was some manufacturing problem and fixed it under warranty!

Ive currently got a 996 in my collection which ive spent more than the bike cost turning it into an SPS. Really I guess I should have just bought an SPS in the first place, but having done all the work myself at least its taught me a lot about Ducatis.

Good luck with the sale, now`s the time of year to sell a bike! :thumb:

Really? I was only paying £60 a year for my R1. When I added the 996 to the policy it doubled it to £120 for both which I felt was expensive as I can only ride one bike at once!
 
yea i thought £159 wasnt bad tbh. agreed value, breakdown cover (which i used on the ferry back from the IOM when the oil pressure sender split on me!)
 
Don't sell it!!!!! It's a keeper! This will only ever go up in value!

The Triumph will rot and die within a year!! Honestly!

:pc: :eek: :frustrated: :nooo: :nooo: :pc: :lol: :sad:
 
It's certainly not going down in value :)
It's time for a change that's all. I don't do many miles per year and the ducati is a proper all out racer. Unless you are nailing it and on twisty lanes it's not a relaxed ride by any means. I rode it to the IOM and back and my wrists and bum can still feel it lol.
I'll probably do more miles on something more relaxed :)
 
Sold to first person who viewed!
Happy days!
 
Excellent, post pics of the new Triumph when you get it :)
 
Will do. 16th September is delivery date, Triumph can't make them fast enough at the minute!
Test ride was impressive, sport mode throttle is very sharp lol, popping unintentional wheelies. :hand:
