1098R, just ornaments now?

7 on ebay, 5 on autotrader, though probs a few duplicates. Ye've been going on about 1098Rs for a couple of yrs now between this site and Mordor.
There are obviously things about them that keep us owners happy so that we will hang on to them indefinitely. The folk that dont want them
anymore have got them advertised out there already.
Piss or get off the pot.
I very rarely visit Mordor now, too many grumpy old investor gits on there....
 
Panigale R is a better road bike anyway, isn't it?

I've got one of them ( I think, last time I looked in the garage anyway) 🤷‍♂️

The old 'R' is definitely much more mad.

Anyway, never mind that old tosh. Look at how aligned my sockets are. 🥴

Mad and better are different things though, aren't they. And if I we're playing big potatoes, I could have those 3 in my garage too.
 
Fools and their money.....
I will make money on all 4 that I bought when I come to sell - and it's more than likely the new owners will too. Remember when RC30's got to £20K?

Were they all £18k + when you bought them? And do you think it's more than likely the new owners would make money in the short term?

My cheapest one was £9000 🙂

Generally over the last 5 years they have crept up in value but not significantly, but I think they will continue to rise.

A 996 SPS was around £15k not so long back and a low mileage one just sold in the US for 3 times that 🤔

I just think it’s better buying older rare models than new ones as it’s nice not to take the initial hit - but you also need to follow your heart and buy what you really want.
