I had a laugh at this one, advertised as a Café Racer but looks like a mongrel of a scrambler and a chopper with all the hipster clichés ticked.
Brown seat , wrapped pipes and brown saddlebags and an old milkcrate to try and keep the dirt off your back.

That's as much a café racer as I am.
I love the look of wrapped pipes on old school choppers but god the rot is not worth it.

Looks great on certain bikes, but you'd have a pain in your hole replacing either a full set of pipes or sections.

Akrapobic exhaust?
It might be 'cause it's definitely not an Akrapovic.

Surely he'd have to?
You can tell the difference just by looking at them , the real deal look quality, the Chinese ones look cheap.

Fair point actually plenty will say its real selling it, poor gobsh!te looking hasn't a clue and sells it saying the same.

I've seen lads stick it up on fb the new Chinese "replica" few months later selling it claiming its legit, I do wonder.

I had to go looking for a cached copy of that page. It was for the 750 machine. My wife's one is the 600.

Also, how very dare you ! :pac:

As some guy said (can't remember if it was on here), they seem to prefer collecting bikes rather than selling them.......

Although most of the bikes they have are very clean, they are always way over priced. I suppose they must have a few fans, otherwise they would be long gone.

Ho hum, dunno about that.

Some of their stock has been there A Very Long Time........and is beginning to look it.

And they definately like to collect: but as to why they need 6/7/8/9/10 copies of any one model, I'm not sure why. They've moved a lot of the collecting stuff upstairs and won't sell anything from it. And the quality of building they're in isn't doing them any favours - some are rusting on things like forks, brakes, I'm sure tanks etc won't be far behind.

Pity really, there's one or two we tried to buy last year but just go a firm 'No' to anything we picked out.

I made the mistake of looking at ads on Facebook.

Between txtspk and semi literacy and missing such things as year, mileage and owners/service history I crung when I read "needs nothing" or "won't be faulted" 🀣

And the obligatory "12345" price. :rolleyes:

Any worse way to devalue a bike than dressing it up as something it's not? I get people should do what they want with their own stuff but it must cost $$$ come selling time. And that's on top of the effort and expense of dressing it up. It's the bike equivalent of lads sticking spoilers, bodykits and M badges on 1.9l diesel BMW cars.

Even so, this bike looks well but there's just no way I'd go near something that's pretending to be something else.

Must be shortage of clean bikes at the moment.
My neighbour with the fancy shed has rang up about 4 bikes in the last 2 days and they were all sold within minutes.
And they weren't even going cheap.
One lad told him he sold his one for 500 more than he advertised.

It's just a few bits of red . Surely that's not a faux pas though...

I'm with you, but I follow an Irish VAG page with some seriously expeny motors on it. Every other day lads post their great looking GTIs, badges and all, then in the comments I find out its a TDI, you really wouldn't know. They all tell them how great their car looks while I'm getting sick in my mouth at the thoughts of it. I guess this is to some peoples taste, I can't hack it though.

Like I said, this looks fine. It's the fact that it's pretending to be an R when it's not just seems a bit sad and pointless. I defo wouldn't buy it for the similar money to a standard, original bike. In fact I wouldn't buy it full stop. I would 100% consider buying the stock bike.

I put my 2015 Ducati Monster 821 stripe up for sale in case anybody is interested. Got the new Monster 937 plus coming in July so gotta make some space in the garage.

Its on done deal and adverts.ie. It says I can't post a link as I am a "new user"

Well I am on here for years but deleted my old account because I wanted to make a fresh start.

8,200 euros ONO, 21,000km Mint bike, never dropped and always dealer serviced. I was the 2nd owner, Taxed to 10/21. Dublin reg. Original Irish bike - not an import.

You'll never sell that as it is, get some Chinese decals and an akrabovic exhaust then add 2k to the price, bosh!

Best of luck with the sale.
