I would have thought that's a joke but a bit of googling those things fetch mega bucks, he won't sell it in Ireland though he will have to export

Zascar · 12-06-2018 8:20am

Is it just the Paris Dakar one as I' sure I've seen R100's go for a few grand..

I'm open to correction but I don't think the PD was produced in all black.

A mate of mine has one, they're a labour of love and almost nothing (spare parts) can be bought in Ireland or the UK for them.

If anyone ever drank in the Gypsy Rose before it closed you'd have seen it outside, later wrapped in camo to protect its original paint work and decals.

They did come in Black but weren't as popular. That one doesn't even have the original forks or wheels on it. Your man is way off the mark with the price !! :rolleyes:

Also does not have original engine
“Re-engined some time back with the smoother 800cc unit”

They still make serious bucks in mint condition
You will get one in Germany for 5-7k in good condition

:rolleyes: So basically its not a PD anymore.

tico1300 · 12-06-2018 9:37am

Exactly, it might be on paper, but it’s got an 800 engine now, here’s something half the price

Yeah but I mean I don't understand the attraction of it, these lads are driving bikes up when it was open staying for the night and not drinking and then driving home or they we're driving home pissed?

When did it shut?

Wood · 21-06-2018 12:18pm

The bike Mak is referring to was owned by a person who worked there. So no. People were not getting hammered and driving home.

A good few members of staff had bikes, and the customers that had them didn't drink when they were riding in.

Closed a good few months now.

Cienciano · 21-06-2018 3:01pm

A good few biker pubs around, or used to be. Strawberry hall, man-o-war, scut fagans, blue light. Probably a few more if you want to go to a pub on the bike.

Mostly staff bikes.

Bikers were welcomed to stay, get pissed and we always put their bikes into the pub to be collected the next day. Alternatively Fleet St. car park gave us a Gypsy Rose/biker rate of €5 for the night.

Parking was right opposite the pay booth so it was pretty secure.

It closed last November.

The 929 are a super reliable bike and the least desirable for the speed merchants alright but they are very popular for those that want
a blade for commuting/touring and having a good blast at the weekend due to the more comfortable riding position it has

But... your right that one is way over priced

This one is better priced and it has all the proper extras

To be fair,every blade is super reliable but if I was picking a blade, I'd pick every other gen before it.
Saying that though,a guy living across the road from me sold a 929 few years ago for €1000.
If I had known he was selling it I would have snapped it up instantly.

Many bikes seem to have a lower floor that they never go below in price - as long as the bike is in decent condition. No matter what age..

It's pretty common, especially in the entry-level range of bikes. I got my Deauville for €1,900 and I'll be able to sell it on for about the same price, especially after replacing the more expensive parts such as the exhaust.

I bought my Fireblade 5 years ago for 6k - looking on donedeal many are still going for 6k today!

I had a '98 CBR600F from new, great bike, everything on it was basically knackered by the time I put 100k km on it though. (On 80s Hondas they used to call it built in obsolescence - you'd get to 40k miles and everything in the engine and chassis would wear out at the same time!) Had the chance to get a very clean low miles '97 from the UK for under £1000 at the time I was getting rid of my one, didn't go ahead and regretted that for a good few years.

And that's a sport performance while the one on donedeal is a performance edition.
I know not much difference.
The sport performance gets brembo's.
I almost had a 2012 standard one with less than 4000 miles bought a couple of months ago for €7500.
Then add vrt and cost to go over to UK and bring it home.
I'd be just missing the akrapovic exhaust system and the ohlins rear shock.
There's lads even remove the akrapovic's and fit a single Yoshi for more midrange so it's possible to pick up a set of akras for your standard edition.

It'll be snapped up if he knocks it down closer to 5500.

I've a mate who rides one of those and he's pestered with quiries regarding selling it.

I reckon he'll have a hard job getting 5 for it at the moment unless he sells it in the UK.
I'm noticing some of the crazy prices that were getting out of hand are easing off.

I suppose at the end of the day it's worth whatever someone will pay for it.

To put the price for the R100GS into perspective.

http://www.fuchs-motorrad.de/de/single,1077,1,R_100_GS.html

Fuchs only sell near concourse machines. The donedeal machine is nice but as MK said, its €5500 bike.

That's a Dakar one.
I would imagine a lot more desirable than the bumble bee one on donedeal.

Saying that, I have seen Dakar ones for way more than that.

They're the same bike bar the paint job. Much like most BMW's these days.
