Looks and sounds fantastic bit of engineering. But why would I need more of what I don't use, more importantly why would I pay twice the price for what I won't use.

 

[Jaws]

Well why would anyone want a Gauguin, a Picasso or a Faberge egg ?

They are rare, worth a LOT of money and unlike the above examples go like stink !!

 

[Davey Bee]

So it's about oneupmanship! :bang:

Still trying to show my own financial strategist the advantages of owning an SP1

Like they say in the video, it's worth it, if it's worth it to you.

Alternative view, hopefully thought provoking, that's how we got from the log to a car.

 

[Jaws]

Like I said.. funny way of seeing things

 

[Davey Bee]

It's allowed. :yo:

 

[robsbird]

so ya not coming to clean my garage then.........:whi5tl:

 

[Davey Bee]

It's about riding not cleaning, but just another alternative view. F1sh1ing

Apparently I'm not very good a cleaning but I'm sure I could clear my way to it in exchange for a couple of hours test ride!

Will you be selling your bird to buy a 125? anything over 70mph isn't required?

I believe it was created due to V & M's working relationship with Honda particulary around the partnership for the tt, the north west 200 and the Ulster grand prix where they were both very sucessfull it was also to commemerate Hondas 50th birthday

The 1200 blackbird was a show if you will, what was possible with the bird but in limited numbers.it maybe 15-20 years away for big money but V &M birds are slowly rising in price and are a collectible..unlike any other red bird :-0) http://www.valmoto.com/article.asp?article=547

Wellllllll, if I was any good on a bike and had a bit more time to ride the bloody thing then I would have one. Oneupmanship? Nah. I would buy it for the same reason(s) that I buy other stuff that I want; because I want to and tits to what anyone else thinks. I work f hard for my wedge and I'm buggered if anyone is going to tell me what I can and can't spend it on.
