I've forgotten the guy's name but it looks like ('CJ's?) bike , the one that one best bike at the Aprilia meet a couple of years back.
5K sounds a lot but the kit on it is top notch.
Who ever buys it, I'd like the wheels please.

Where's me cheque book? That is simply awesome.
Strange though that after all that, there isn't the customary RSV swingarm?

Jesus - bet it rides amazing - but come on, would anyone really pay £5k for a Y2K Falco? I know obviously it's worth that in parts probably, but good luck.
Bet they gave the guy £3k max p/x aswell!

That is crying out for breaking! I'm surprised they haven't already - they'd need someone dedicated to fork out 5k plus (reserve is not met) on a 9 year old Falco when Aprilia themselves sold the last few brand new for 5k.

Doubt you'd make anything like that sort of money for the parts.
..... though those wheels would be a nice addition .......

Shame there's not enough of us for the forum to be able to buy it and raffle it off, or raffle the parts off!
I'm sure we'd all shell out £20 or something for a ticket?!
Who's feeling flush to get this in for "the team" ?????

There are a few legal and technical hoops to jump through before that sort of enterprise.

Well someone get going then, my £20 is waiting!
Need 249 others to take part and we're laughing.
Just need someone with too much money to buy it first, LOL.

Nope still think it is grossly overpriced.
(and goodness knows how the previous owner managed to spend £25k on parts).
Second hand (9yrs old, 20k miles) - even with all the nice bits, £3k max.
Listing ended, No Bids ..... think that sums it up ............

Have to agree D-Rider, £3k would be a fairer price, if you really want all the nice bits, but it is a £2k bike at the end of the day and technically, modified so worth less than standard!
Previous owner must have been mad to spend all that and then part with it, surely you'd rather hang on to it than remind yourself of all that wasted cash!
