Ive spent a few weekends with a mate who wanted a 2006/7 Repsol or HRC Fireblade, he's had most models of Blade but really wanted a later one...everyone we saw, despite the shiny pictures was in piss poor condition but in the week another friend of mine let me know he had to sell his SP1...
I put the 2 of them in touch and my friend bought it last night, 1 owner, 8,000 miles, never seen the wet, full akro system, mapped in, 137RWP , lots of tasteful mods and all the stock parts sitting in a drawer, all as new, I think the OE exhaust was removed within a month.
Some bolts had gone slightly dull over the 13 years he'd owned it so he'd replaced those over Winter, their was an issue with the tank a couple of years ago , instead of getting it painted, he bought a new one for best part of 1K, these are the sort of owners I like to buy from.
Lots of sellers say they have a tear in their eye when they sell a bike but my friend genuinely did, one is gutted, the other ecstatic..
I took out a S1000r the other week, despite it having another 40odd BHP id walk straight past it without a glance to own this..
