Not a scam at all (yay!). The guy was nice. I came with cash, we signed paperwork, done deal.

I'd say time for some to eat some humble pie.

Well done on your purchase mate.

Damn, what a deal. Congrats!

Any backstory on the seller to put all the speculation to rest?

The seller was a rather well off individual who enjoyed modding. He and his wife decided he should get out of the motorcycle world. He literally never rode it as most of the miles were from the dealer riding it back and fourth between mods. He was a very nice guy and I'm glad I made the trip.

EvoL, glad to hear that you got the bike. You paid less than 16,000 Euro for almost brand new Tri with all the extras. Grazy deal, any idea why the owner was selling?

Thanks! See above.
 
Did you just ride straight home or did you bother to have the first service done somewhere along the way?
 
It had the first service done at 550 miles when the full exhaust was done. I just need to get the reminder cleared.
 
Wow let this be a lesson. Mods add zero value. That bike would have sold for the exact same stock.

That's what I would have bet on. I know a few older guys that get the most joy out of the "build". Tinkerers with more toys than they can play with. As soon as the build is done, there's no more joy left and they blow it out to get the next project in.

That is an insane deal, I'm jealous. Have fun with her. Hope to see you at Jennings this season. We'll see how my built out base compares on the track.

Based on what EvoL stated, the previous owner didn't even enjoy 'the build' as he took the bike to the dealer to do the modding. Sounds like this guy just like to click his mouse to buy stuff and watch stuff evolve to its apex before he gets bored, used or not.

I mean this guy modded the .... out of this bike with major performance benefits only to never experience what his wallet created:confused:
 
If you want to get rid of those wheels and brakes I will swap you the S brakes and wheels+cash.

Man this is the truth. This guy pissed away a minimum of $10k in accessories and labor for nothing, not to mention the likely additional $10k on the bike itself.

Kudos to EvoL though for benefitting from a gluttonous individual, what a score:D

Same thing, he wasn't a hands-on builder, but obviously liked to have his toy modded. It's only confusing because the scale of his wallet makes it nonsensical to regular folk. Especially in NYC, where it's relatively common to have 8- or 9- figure incomes. Then, owning an 1199 and buying accessories for it is the relative equivalent of my son getting a new Lego set every time we're at Walmart.

Makes sense, with those $8,000 wheels and whoever knows how much (and why?) those brakes needed an upgrade.
 
CF wheels and nice brakes but the crap factory rear sets ?

He def didn't ride the bike.

Nice score.
 
What I REALLY don't understand is why someone like that would even sell it on eBay. I'm sure a local craigslist ad would have sold it for more and faster.

And there it is.




Just think of what some car guys do.
This stuff ain't nothin' in comparison.

I know a guy who bought a new Maserati GTS for 130k.
Traded in 2 yrs later at like 70k.
He didn't even blink.

Only cared about how cool the replacement Aston Martin looked. :cool:

He traded it in, that's the easiest way out. Selling a bike on eBay is a lot more complicated, that's why I'm surprised. He could have dropped it off at the dealer and said give me $21k for it, thanks good bye.
