As long as it's been looked after and not poorly maintained, from a buyer's perspective a cracking price.

From a seller's perspective, a heartbreaker.

None of us can understand why such a great bike doesn't come close to selling for what it's really worth.

Certainly looks and sounds good as far as can be told from the video.

It will sound a lot better without those stock exhausts

Look at this.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/APRILIA-SL100 ... 8876163%26
Belly pan is 150 quid extra.
I think they are fuel cans worth 250 quid new.
Side stand is sorted.
And its a late 2005 bike.
Looks like excellent value to me.

well

front cowl cracked....

I like the look of the red original - and its close to the buyer

(and most likely has the correct headlight - to explain a fair few later rust coloured falcon were grey imports and had eu head lights....)

under 1500 quid - nice - and then get some after market cans and you are laughing

Mind you the red fire does have the shock sorted...... A very fair price. I may even buy it myself.....

- to explain, a fair few of the later bikes (Olympic bronze, Flamingo red - not sure about Oasis Green) that were genuine UK bikes - not grey imports (identified by the market build sticker on them) were incorrectly fitted at the factory with eu headlights.
Those of us that noticed had them corrected FOC by Aprilia.

Blinkey - that's a cracking price for a later bike - even with some minor cosmetic stuff.
That said, of the two the red one looks a better deal (without actually taking a proper look at them)

to my knowledge only one of the oasis greens had an eu headlight.....

That'll be about the same proportion as the others then!

Aladinsaneuk · #27 Post by **Aladinsaneuk** » Sat Nov 23, 2013 11:02 am

10 percent then......

I obviously don't need to quote prices to you andy. But some nice extra's there. hugger, Belly pan. Nice new cans, White spring shock. I think the bike is a steal at that price. I can't believe it has not been snapped up!!!!!!!
A massive amount bike for so little.
