Just as interesting is the listing only has a single line of text as its description - you usually get a short story with this sort of thing.

That plaque on the handlebars says that it's a limited edition of 100. Did they really find another 99 buyers :shock:

Probably - all waiting for this collector's item to appreciate.

Personally, the only folk I can see rushing to collect this are the bin men.

I am haunted by the thought of it going over a bump and crushing the pillions genitals between the two seats.

On looking again that pillion pad subframe is held on by 3 6mm bolts, surely not enough to support an unsprung human for long before the bolts fail. There are also no pillion pegs but there is a seat. How did this lash up ever get through whatever regulations cover new vehicles?

It's not a pillion seat, it's for the rider to shift back onto when going really fast, chin on the tank.

And trap his plums under the front seat when he hits a bump ;)

Bears all the signs of being designed by a committee. I can see nothing positive about it. It's fucking hideous.

It was a real limited edition that sold out very quickly. And for about 20k a pop.
It’s hideous

£18,000 new from CCM.

Doesn't appear to have been a good short term investment.

Just sticking this here, not because it's a terrible bike, I just want to see how cheap it goes...

Well it ended, with no reserve, at £1,650.

Someone got a cheap Superduke (if it's not totally fucked).
