Dad works with MotoGB and a few other places so parts and replacement is limited as to how quickly they can be shipped really. Been waiting parts for his RS for months now. He's got one the the LE's too, which is his baby!!!!! He'll never ever sell that now.
Any more info on the little 400's? Online selling or private.
Ian,  best plan is that, but nahh, Astra is Donnas, Bandits not worth selling, wouldn't make much money back is shes done over 20k now.
Don#'t start tempting me with all out track slags please, i've seen yours, im already jealous as it is  Bimota SB5 or 8 hmmmmmm....
Ian, I really like your idea about 2 sports bikes, but i'd have to keep Nelli a dry weather bike and become one of those tarty riders who flicks his hair and stuff

its like having sex with a supermodel but shes just recovering from broken ribs... no fun cos if you ride her too hard and break something your going to pay deerly!
FPMSL Dead true!!!!!!!
Been some really good varied opinions here. Back to the thinking board it is then.........
(Ironically just found out today that old man says he'll help the funding of Nelli when he gets his payout next year, so even he's saying get a cheaper slag to ruin now!!!)
I beg to differ on the italian quality lol - aprilias build quality is immense, better than benelli or infact just about any other bike manufacturer period! The only thing that lets aprilia down are the paint finishes.
Benellis are like ferraris, beautiful looking but when you look closely you see where they cut corners, dont get me wrong though i still like the tre rs!
As for one bike dry weather, whats wrong with that? if you have something special you want to keep it tht way, and when you reserve it for sunny sundays it feels that bit more special when you ride it as opposed to when you ride something daily.
as for the 400s they belong to a close friend of mine, hes just had a baby so there sat in his garage doing nothing!

I just got my self a little 400! Sounds and looks the part, and goes well too, just it stops at bout 120 realistically. Havent tested it, but aparantly handle better than most things on the road due to their low weight.
I think my old fzr with full tank of fuel and oil etc is 180 kg
