See that 007 sticker?

That adds £12k. Must be because it's gold.

Noticed Bike World on YouTube have started testing some of their bikes. Some nice examples but the prices are eye watering

They are just down the road from us and their stock is quite eye-popping. They seem to have cornered the market in Panigales. But as you say, their prices are eye-watering - 350LCs for £12k...

I went on one of the open days... the one with the Norton and McPint.

I'm too scared to go on a normal day because poor people like me can't afford any of their bikes.

The more you look, the better it gets...

It's even got a (dark) brown seat.

I do like the compass on the bars, tho'. I might get one for the GS.

No it doesn't

Better in the context of 'worse'.

I wish I had the self-confidence to advertise that thinking someone's going to go, 'yeah, I'll buy that'.

[Supermofo]

One of a kind. Thankfully!

[Wossname]

"It's meant to be like that". That's why it's £2500.

Needs more Samurai swords.

I kind of like it.

The bronze paint on the calipers and engine would have to go, and I'm not keen on the exhaust.

The price is the most wtf thing though. 1k is the most I'd pay, 2.5k is just a fantasy

Brown grips, but missing the brown seat.

[Skub]

Being black and yellow almost saves it.

Almost.

[KungFooBob]

I could be alright.

Better seat, proper plate, mudguard, some period style side panels.

I imagine it's probably entertaining to ride.

[Bustaspoke]

I quite like that,needs proper mudguards,number plate relocating & a proper tail light though.
The seller's asking £4500 more than I would pay,& says it's running a little 'rough'.
Maybe it's time to rebuild the old XT600...

[ChrisW]

Give it more of an early eighties enduro look and it'd be rather nice.

Thought it had race wets on but looked them up and they're street tyres made to look like wets.

Not really “WTF:” just a bad photo of a slightly overdone Triton with shitty silencers.

I passed out and died half way through having not taken a breath.

But the bad spelling and poor grammar means he's a mechanical genius. Fact.
