Tricolor always was around 10-11k. As to rest to expensive. I can go and buy s4r with 999 engine same as s4rs but no ohlins for about 7k. S4rs 8-9 that s4 should be 7k max but more like 6k

I'd love to have it back for the latest project...
A big regret is giving away my old split screen VW camper - I'd just got a newer type 2 bay window model - I let someone have it as their Beetle needed a new engine!

Pretty much every bike I have ever owned but then I would need huge a garage and many of the sales funded the next bike so they had to go.

But like most two stroke owners the one I regret selling most was my RD500YPVS, bought at the tender age of twenty after a Renault 5 made a right turn without 'seeing me' and bent my XJ600 rather badly.

It was used daily for two years and you can only imagine how it was ridden leaving everything in a four pipe cloud of two stroke smoke- every ride to work was like a GP (in my head).

Sold for £2200 losing me £300 on my purchase price so not too bad (my mate sold his one with a blown Stan Stevens stage three motor for £500)- I almost bought it back a couple of years ago, completely unrestored and looking every bit as lovely as when I sold it (except he'd had the wheels painted black instead of their original white) but £10k would have meant something else would have to go so I declined and let memories be memories.

I did too, it was so reliable and not the complete animal many people said they were, another friend had an RG500 which really was.

It was my only transport and I went everywhere on it.

Real happy memories of those days, a few of us on RD's mostly 350's and the two 500's the RG500 plus a load of GPZ's, slab side GSX-R's, all carefree in jeans, trainers and paddock or leather jackets.

I bought a CZ 175 Trail bike, new, as my first bike and it was that bad I sold it a fortnight later for an absolutely stonking Suzuki T250 J Hustler in blue, I loved it and regret selling it to this day!

Others I regret,
My first Commando
Guzzi V11 Le Mans
My £75 Guzzi Le Mans Mk1
M900
Yamaha TDM 900 , just too tall for my legs!

There's got to be a few more, but I agree you have to move on, BUT, there are times when you do just sit and think about the ones you let go..... probably through rose coloured specs too!

I sold my old Ducati Monster about 8 years ago and really regret it... I established through this handy service that it’s been off the road since 2011, which is clearly a waste and as a result would really like to locate it again.

The bike details are as follows:

Ducati M900
Red
Reg M356 HCN

I sold it to a chap called Andrew from Inverness-shire in 2009 / 2010, who may have subsequently sold it on. I have tried contacting him already, however I suspect he has changed number.

I would really appreciate any information on this as I am keen to get hold of the bike again, so please pass this on...

Many thanks in advance.

Will
Have you tried http://www.ducati-upnorth.com/forum/forum.php/
