A new project is on the horizon so it's time to part with the trusty Sideburn Sportster. This bike has scored podiums in the UK and Europe and been ridden 800 miles out to SnowQuake where it raced on the ice (click see the film).
It has undergone years of development to be (probably) the most sorted Sportster hooligan in Europe. It comes with a V5 logbook for conversion back to road spec if you want to go down that route and would make a mean and reliable road bike.

The bike is a 1991 883 5-speed, pre-rubber mount (the type the Rusty Butcher prefers). As stated, it comes with a V5 logbook if you want to ride on the road, but it doesn't have lights. It is sold ready to race and it is a race bike, not a show bike.
Price
£7250. Delivery could possibly be arranged at the buyer's cost within UK or Europe.
