A for sale thread would be to vulgar for this bike - However I’ve some life changes ahead and I don’t see this bike, that’s to date has been a big part of my life being much more than a dust collector so I’d be happy to discuss its re homing with those that get the part it could play in their lives.
It’s a g/s Paris Dakar converted by HPE (not HPN) strengthened frame, extended mono lever, USD forks engine build by Max B in Holland (again forgotten his surname but he’s a top builder) with 1000cc Sibenrock and high torque cam. Rear subframe is Q-Tech
Bought from a UKGSer in 2007
Used on the Dawn till Dusk in 2008 - It’s in that years Touratech catalogue
It was further prepared by Bernie (forgot his surname) who was Cyril Despres Rally mechanic and used on the 2009 Alto Tura Rally where it came 2nd in class (it was in with KTM 690s)
For that Rally it also had some Richie Moore fettling
After that it was used in various Welsh Rallies
It had a partial refresh’s by Overland and classic and a few years later and end to end c£2500 refresh, including a gearbox rebuild, high output alternator and all new and upgraded electronics. The brief was, it does not need to look pretty but I want to know it could be ridden down to Morocco and then used off piste.
That was a couple of years ago and since it’s done maybe 2500 miles
Total mileage is unknown as it’s had Rally trips and no speedo but when I bought it in 2007 it had c5000 miles and I doubt I’ve put more than 10,000 miles on it.
Open to a re homing conversation - It’s not quite a for sale post but to avoid the it needs a price posts it’s one million pounds. However I’m happy to discuss and move on that though, but that’s something for conversation
Besides those with a real interest will know the ball park value and I expect to be discussing a price in that area.
It will come with 3 rear wheels, 2 front, a Rally box full of bits and road book holder and trips.
Thank you for reading and PM me if you’d like to have a chat about it...
Happy to answer interesting questions about the bike in this thread for those that may not be wanting to own it but would like to know about this rather special bike - Other posts maybe ignored, I’m expecting a few.
