    ----------------------------------------------

    916 biposto 1998

    - 14,180 miles with fsh from ProTwins and latterly Carl Harrison
    (ex-Chris Clarke)
    - Cambelts changed 9 months ago
    - 12k service Aug '06 (all rockers perfect)
    - recent HH pads
    - Same owner for last 5 years, near mint condition, absolutely
    reliable
    - Previous owner Ian Allgar, moderator of DSC forum back when I bought
    it
    - MoT til July, taxed for 5 months
    - Pirelli Diablos, Corse compound front, 180 rear
    - Both keys present, toolkit, owners manual and all documentation

    1998 was the year with the discrete graphics and the then-owner Texas
    Pacific improved the quality control

    Standard bike apart from:
    - Marchesini 5-spoke wheels in satin black
    - Forza Fast by Ferraci stainless pipes, foam airbox filter and
    Ultimap chip installed by ProTwins
    - Adjustable rearsets, quality items made to Ducati Performance design
    - Carbon v-piece
    - Red painted mirrors
    - Spyball alarm
    - 14T front sprocket (suits the bike perfectly)
    - Double-bubble screen, mid tint

    Ventura rack-rails

    which look absolutely gash on a 916.

    Crikey, don't let Kiran hear you say that.

    Anyway, they're not included in the price.

    <straight bat> I don't have a 916.

    But seriously, Ventura kit is great and works at eek speeds [1]. Rack
    comes off when not in use and how many folks noticed the rails when we
    were riding around on saturday? Anyway, whole system comes off with 4
    bolts and takes less than 5 mins. It's all taken off and will only be
    put back on next time I need it.

    [1] I decided 177 was about enough.

    There is a story to this one.

    He was in the same Homestay as Robbie and I for the 2008 MGP, he and SO
    came on the VFR. After lusting over my bike for a week he trotted off
    and bought one. A rather huge lurch in the right direction, as Statto
    knows. TBF Andy has some strength in his left hand.

    I had a bit of a twitch moment myself, but I'm not keen on the wheels, so
    that's my excuse :)

    I really must not buy any bikes. I mustn't.
