my rc8 rebuild!

It since spent most of it's time on the track as my race bike. One full season as an only bike with NGRRC in 2012 then two seasons as my wet bike. I did MOT it last year to ride on the road over the winter but that has expired recently. SORNd. 

Body work isn't the tidiest but it looks ok at ten paces. Mechanically it's fine. It's had the oil changed between 600 and 800 miles since it became a track bike. Usual RC8 gremlins of juddery clutch when cold and water pump seals going now and again. Clutch is fine when warm and water pump seals is a simple job if required. Still goes well and I usually stick it on the podium it if it's wet. 

Got nowt to hide with this bike, it's all on the RC8 forum if you take the time to look. It will make a great track bike for someone or if you want to go racing then it's ready for that too. It passes scrutineering every time and because it's a standard bike I never have any issues with noise. 

I'm looking for 3500 for it as it stands. If I don't get that I'll break it. 

V5 spare keys including the orange one. A small box of original bits, sprockets, chain guard etc. Paddock stand. It's got wets on at the minute but if you buy it I can put some dry scrubs on no problem.

I'll be at Thruxton from Friday evening until Sunday morning. Racing 11th October 2014. The bike will be there but I'm not riding it. Turn up with the cash or means of instant bank transfer and you can take it. 

Second pic is an older shot, it now has R+G crash protection, standard reservoir covers and no Sato spindle holder.
