Hello,
Advertising this bike for a friend, I can personally vouch for this bike, it's a minter ! See below for all the details, pictures can be had on request, just PM me for contact details. Cheers Scott I have for sale my track R6 which is a 2007 year road bike that has been recently converted over to a track bike. Amazing looking bike (comments from loads of riders and even instructors) and c/w V5. Fantastic looking fairings with black/red colour scheme and a bit of gold - stunning looking Totally standard engine for reliability and peace of mind Full MHP system PCV and air filter Set up on Dynojet giving respectable/reliable 114 rear wheel bhp Black rearsets (Diamond I think) currently in race pattern but easyily changed to road shift Harris black new adjustable clutch and brake levers Trick shifter (now flat shifter) set up in race pattern but this can be changed to road by simply switching 2 wires Ohlins steering damper with new black Harris fitting kit WP racing cartridge kit in the better 08 forks and WP race shock - both currently set up with 95 springs (serviced and set up about 2 months ago by Actiforce racing) but spare 100 springs if heavier than say 12 stone ish? Race switch on new SES clip ons. This allows for different maps and I think is programmable for numerous items - currently just used for the single map but could be programmed for say a baffle in map for quieter days Last trackday was 28.10 at Cadwell and sound was 101db with no baffle New brembo SC pads and oil and filter changed before the last trackday New(ish) 520 chain and Renthal sprockets (-1F/-1R) Currently has Dunlop GP racer D211 tyres (rear is a 190) which have done 3 Trackdays. I am an average Inters rider so plenty of life left in them To my knowledge and after meticulously looking at the bike in great detail I cannot see that the bike has ever been involved in any accident/off. History is of a road bike up to about 13k and then converted to a track bike. Current mileage is about 13800? from memory but can confirm If any one is genuinely interested then pm me and I will take some good photos over the weekend and email them on. To conclude - this bike is specced like a top race bike but due to the standard engine is a track bike and a stunning one at that. £5000 no silly offers thanks. I am in no hurry to sell the bike and have been advised to 'strip' the bike of most of its goodies as I would make far more that way eg Full WP suspension set Trick shifter full MHP system with PCV and air filter Harris clutch and brake levers Rear sets Racing button switch? However I would prefer someone to get a stunning bargain and enjoy it next year. Thanks Note that I have decided to use my RSV4 APRC as my new toy. Getting too old for a 600 and can suddenly see the 'sense' in being very steady/safe in the corners and fast on the straights!!! " |

Hello,
Couple of pics below and if you click the YouTube video you can see the bike in action last month, he's sat behind me at the 1.00 mark. :-) http://youtu.be/03uW8SS5D_s |

A good bike mate, but do be honest mate for this price, you'll need provide dyno results of how good engine is, will make it better to sell it if it gives out clear 125 hp. Just an advice.

I appreciate that it is not putting out 'race bike' power and that is why I advertised it as a track bike. I am an upper inters/lower fast group rider and I want my track bikes to be well specced and in mint condition. The reality of all of the race bikes is that :
They have ALL been down the road (many a number of times) and accordingly can be quite tatty I always have the worry that the tuned engine will cost me £1000 tp £2000 when they need refreshing This bike is specced as a good race bike but is in mint condition as it is from a road bike and doesn't come with the worry of what if re the tuned engine. Horses for courses and I appreciate that the power output is of more importance to racers than what a bike looks like but for me the condition of a bike and a reliable low maintenance engine is higher up my priority list Cheers david |

Yes my bike but for some reason I wasn't allowed to start a new topic?
Don't have any axe to grind as I am in no hurry to sell the bike and to be honest when I read back the spec there is a big part of me that questions selling it. But got a RSV4 APRC and if I don't use this on track then it is not going to be used. Plus at my advanced years it makes more sense to take it easy in the corners and use the power on the straights (and all the rider aids aren't a bad thing to have) Cheers |

To be fair I do think that it has a great spec and I never suggested big bhp from a tuned engine. In fact quite early on I highlight that it is a standard engine for reliability and with 114 bhp. Can't be any more honest than that!

Why tune the balls of a TD bike, for it to implode. Nice bike mate.

Plus there is a spare set of painted and decal'd fairings which match those on the bike - undrilled. Seat unit is the standard type in black with a std seat from the road bike
Must be worth best part of £500 with the paint job and decals? Cheers |

Were they female OAP's, who only ever rode to the local shop and back, for dog food for her 3 Yorkshire terriers?

Basically one owner who did about 13000 road miles over about 7 years. Then it was bought by a racer who did lots of the work in converting it over to a track bike. Unfortunately he was a bit too heavy for the R6 and decided he would be better suited to a thousand and hence he only had it a short while before selling it on.
Obviously I did the usual HPI full check on it to check no finance was owing and that it was not on any insurance registers etc and clean as it looks Cheers |
