907ie on Ebay

[englishstiv]

Just picked up my 907IE today cost £560.00 (English pounds) plus £50.00 given for fuel to a mate for use of his van. Apart from a very scruffy couple of light fairing crack repairs, a missing right (our off side) mirror and indicator and a scruffy general appearance from standing for a couple of years it seems a lot of TLC will give me a hell of a lot of bike and a great rolling rebuild for vey lttle money.

There was a very nice low mileage 907ie Paso that just sold on ebay in the US for 6850.00. I thought I would post this as reference for anybody thinking of buying or selling.

I've searched eBay and can't come up with anything that supports your claim, do you have a link??

I looked carefully at that one Dave. I'd be real interested ot hear from the eventual buyer and what he/she found when they got their hands on the bike. I had and extended talk with the seller (actually the owner of the bike shop selling on behalf of the owner) who claimed to have done all the maintenance on it since about 95. For a supposed Duc certified mechanic he was pretty vague on a lot of the things I wanted to know about a bike that had apparently been hardly ridden (like less than 200 miles) since 95. I was a bit leary considering I wanted a bike I could ride.
Still for a museum piece, a good deal I guess.

Cheers
Andrew

I'm not keen on bikes that haven't been ridden too often as I'm a believer that things go bad from lack of use. I ride my bikes year around even in the winter (if street conditions allow) because you just need to keep things lubricated and moving...just like sex
