Very very nice bike, unfortunately I have no more room

Hi Guys,thanks for your kind comments. As you are aware it takes a lot of time and effort to produce a bespoke bike: I had wanted to build that spec/colour for seven years! I don't imagine it will sell and do be honest if it did I would feel sick and have a knot in my stomach to see it go (gush).
Hi Mark yes I still have the Eddie and have decided to keep this and let Grey go. I just could not be without an APE: I honestly think the build quality is outstanding- we all know they are the bargain of the century!

its a pillion seat , and is for late 03 Rsv and gen 1 tuono

Although on second look this particular bike has the mounting on non drive side for pillion rests as well. Luggage limitation is something  I have only realised after purchase and wondered how I could get around this issue. Not looking for full luagge touring only enough for credit card overnights. I probably should have asked on newthread what are the options for small luggage on Gen1 RSVR with subframe for no pillion mounts?

only on the original 2000 model R after that pretty sure it was an option or standard

Hi Mark,
that's great thanks for the update: I did wonder what happened to Him/Her!

For luggage I would suggest the Ventura route + Tank bag for the Full-Monty!

Shame there hasn't been any Kent Ride Outs for a few years!!!


Keep it upright -

They did change to double seat sub-frame later but I'm not sure what year.
