This is a weird one... sb6 that's been fitted with a single exhaust on the RH side.
The description is worth a read. 6 speed, desmo cams

My opinion, …That exhaust doesn't do the bike well … it looks … strange.
The wheels are okay.
Fairing indicators … mmm I don’t know…
6 gears, probably they count neutral also.
Almost 150 bhp at the wheel…. Not bad…
Cams …… very special.  _________________ vince

Yeah I don't like the exhaust at all. I don't like the indicators either and am not a fan of the polished frame.
I think the dealer got the specs confused between a GSXR and a Ducati. Might not have been able to get his head around an Italian bike with a 4 cyl 1100 in it  _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

This one's now reduced to 8k. Getting more realistic but still too high IMO. Too many things that don't look right. I suspect it's been down the road at some point. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

150 hp is more than standard, maybe they took original pipes off to increase the airbox. Maybe they're measuring at the crank ? _________________ Don't read everything you believe |
