Register for genuine Edwards Replicas

Just wondering if there's much interest in starting a register for the 2003 manufactured Edwards Replicas?  Most were registered 2004.  Of 461 worldwide apparently 45 were destined for the UK, tho I've also heard that a good few more made it to these shores

I know of 3 currently, with another possible 2.

So

#063  Phil, Worcestershire - 'hooked' airbox and Rossi chip, otherwise stock [with kit exhaust fitted]

yes can do if you like.  Maybe you can shed some light on them.  Supposedly there were 461 worldwide and 45 imported to the UK, is it likely #63 was one of them?  Do you know if there was ever any technical documentation available for them, ie sales brochures etc when new?  Mine was registered in May 2003, it's been to you for a suspension setup by the look of it, but when that was I don't know.  The bike spent time in Pontefract, Wakefield and Northumberland according to the receipts/paperwork I have.  There are some names too, can't remember them tho

Nice machine....looks new out of the box....very jealous....

#62 and #265



They did not come with any additional handbook data apart from one loose additional page added inside the handbook IIRC, and an installation handbook for the twin pipes/chip.

# 265 was possibly an Italian bike as it was a reward/award to a Hampshire UK car garage (who imported/sold a lot of Piaggio cars into the UK) and was presented, in Italy, to the UK garage owner - who rode it back to the UK, stored it in said garage until he sold it to me. (He also had a few other exotic performance bikes so that must have been his thing).

#62 was owned by an American gentleman from Oxford before I bought it from a showroom up Shipley way.

Love that fleece - Thats cool as  

Hi Phil,
My eddy arrived today, mint, 10800 miles, fsh, pazzo levers, it's number 45 mate and this is on the hump that is lacquered over, not a sticker. I'll post some pictures. One for the register.

I assumed that the "45" was all together with extras supplied with the bike from brand new, so is original. The transfers were supplied to me in a genuine Aprilia package with the documentation which also included a spare factory akra pipe sticker so I guess many owners chose not to put the 45 onto the white rear race plates.  I've seen a few with the "45" applied now.

This one is for sale, and has been for quite a while now, at Iain Murray's place, same place I got mine. When I got mine it was advertised for £4500, its now down to £3750, same price I paid for mine. It was still there about 2 weeks ago when I popped in.

Well as I mentioned a little while ago, I am now the really 'chuffed' new owner of a Colin Edwards Replica, which has done only 9,300 miles from new. A one owner bike , with everything original, FASH, in brilliant condition, clearly really well cared for by the previous owner.

You solved the 45 mystery for me, but coincidently the last two numbers of the chassis number is 45??
I'm also pouncing about in the garage looking at it. Had her bout 4/5 weeks. Got brand new metzlers on when I bought her, never seen 1mile of use, so that and the rain = no riding. Started her twice just to listen to the awesome noise and piss the neighbours off. Just sitting there on the optimate. Hey ho
Regards

Great idea, not been on for a while (off season so try not to think about the bike much otherwise I start pining)

Had her a couple of years now Mike, an old fella had her prior to me but she's been in the hands of the same dealer for a while so I know quite a lot of the history. Think it's around 16k on the clock now, only managed around 1k last year due to injury/work/crap weather lol
The original screen and exhaust are the only things I don't have you'd be mad to want to put the standard pipe on anyhow after hearing the Akras!
If I did sell it I'd have to home visit and screen potential buyers to ensure their suitable first I had a gixxer from new once, sold it after 4 years but it was spotless (I used to clean behind panels, a habit I still have (OCD)), to watch it ride off in the pouring rain broke my heart, a pile of £20 notes seemed meaningless in comparison.
I'm in Bury St Edmunds so may not be far from you, have to meet up in summer, be good to see another Eddy on the road!

Frank, are you the dude that bought his Eddy from an old guy near Diss, had it in the garage along time???
The same dude that I sat and talked to at Maxmoto just after you bought it?
Think we spoke again at Snetterton BSB last year.
Only had mine since November 2012.
Keep in touch mate.
You cam PM me if you want.
Keep July 7th free if you can, for THE ride out. Have a look at the thread started by Ken, Nickyboy, et al.
Cheers.
