Hi Victor. Sorry to see that. I actually saw your posters on the Brecknock Rd today. My girlfriend took a photo and I was going to post it up but you've got there before me. Hope you get it back.

Sorry to hear that, I used to live on Holloway Road so must have seen you at some point. I still work in east London so will be on the look out. Keep an eye on eBay for any recognisable parts being listed, especially exhaust and fairings.

Was I driving it as I'd stolen it? Then it was me for sure

Tough, If you are fully comp and complied with insurers t and c`s you may get a few quid back in compo.
find it hard to comprehend that someone would profit from this kind of bike
Good luck with that.
Is it a third world thing going on in our capital?
The Ohlins was a nice touch though

Sadly from the motor cycle dealer I'm friendly with, these bikes stolen are in eastern europe within a few days ....
Porous borders .....
A friend was having her bike freighted across europe to Spain , and she forgot the papers when she delivered it, the freight driver said no problem , he'd hide it ....
Sure enough the bike arrived , no hassle ....
And that bike crossed 4 borders .
So , until our border control officials wake up , there will be no end of bikes being stolen .

I struggle to understand why someone would go through that hassle for a bike that in the UK is worth perhaps 2000, 3000 on a good day...
The profit having transported it, taking the risks etc would be close to nothing.
If it would have been stolen to make a quick profit I don't think there's one to be made, and the better bet being to sell of its parts as spares in the UK.
If it had been a GS or S1000RR I would have understood though...
I'm sure it's on an estate somewhere, or being joy ridden around...

Boston? Lowestoft? Skeg?
I agree with Victor, joy ridden or maybe resting at the bottom of a canal.
Scum.
