It's a WTF, but not because it's a shitter, but because I can't believe someone has sold (what looks to be quite a respectable) a V4 Tuono for less than £4k!!!

The listing definitely lets you know that they're 'purveying a fine motorcycle'!!

"It is difficult to determine whether this machine has ever seen meaningful off-road use, as there is no evidence of hard wear, impact, or abuse. Frame paint retains excellent coverage and depth, and the suspension, handlebars, grips, and seat are all remarkably well preserved."

It's not the bike itself, more how low the starting price is for one of these with less than 2.5k miles.

I realise they're uncomfortable - I tried folding myself on to one once. Once. But that's a massive saving / loss / depreciation!

Bargain if you're bendy.

They were selling them with huge discount when they were new.

I've only ever seen one in the wild

Yup look nice, but sound hellishly uncomfortable. Triumph couldn't give them away

Yep, I know. Just surprised how cheap they (potentially) are now.

Ive only ever seen one in the Triumph Visitor Experience Museum. Oh no, wait.

In 10 years time they might be the Trumpet equivalent of the Ducati Sports Classic, a bike that never sold, but became desirable for it's rareness. I doubt it tho'

At that price might be worth a punt with some raised clip ons

You'll be removing or slicing the fairing then?

Not me, was a theoretical if someone bought one, I know other people have added raised clip ons to bikes so assume something might be possible. It's a nice bike but not for me.

Saw my first one this morning, coming back from my ride to deepest darkest Essex

£3200!!!!!

They're having a turkish!

I paid £600 for mine (tho it did have 36k on the clock) and that was £500 too much.

It is puzzling to me that bikes and cars from the 90's, that weren't particularly good when new, now are advertised a premium prices ?!

Because some mug with more money than sense will want to re-live his youth, and sellers will make the most of the opportunity

God knows I have been that mug at times

It doesn’t mean it is going to sell that that price !

I guess the nice bikes people looked after, the shit ones not so much, so there's fewer shit bikes in good condition about?
