sp model

[eggy]

what advantages have the sp model over the standard model, an wit the close ratio box are the much slower over all any info on a 97 sp would be great thanks lads

[extonyg]

if you do a quick search (top right) theres lots of topics on sp models and yes there a few 'advantages' to sp's
shocks,carbs,gearbox,single seat...list goes on..

what money is a show room condtion 97 sp worth

[gavinfdavies]

if it's got low mileage, and is really an sp (anyone can fit a single seat and a different shock - check for the flat slides and the cdi, there's a post somewhere giving pictures for each, since they vary between the normal and the sp ones) then i'd guess around £2500 max.

yeah its not as if ya can go stripping the fairings off it thou, i have one bought for 1900euro its showroom condition an only ha 15000 miles on it!! i just hope she is a sp i have a deposit put on it goin to collect it at the weekend

[gavinfdavies]

that's a good deal even for a standard model. Don't worry if it's not an sp, if it's a dealer bike, but not as advertised, you can take them to the cleaners for mis-representation. you should be abble to see the carbs if you peer into the fairing gaps with a torch. you'd be within rights to ask the dealers to wip the seat and tank off to take a peak, it's only a 10 minute job. to be fair the flat slides are one of the biggest bonuses, even if it's not an sp, so if they're there, and well set up, for 1900euros you might as well relax!
