Well after much pondering, I will be selling my F1 which is probably the quickest and most developed Ducat F1 replica in the UK.

The full build thread is here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1652

Developed constantly since its debut late 2012, it has been raced in the Golden Era superbike series and has been on the podium with a best of 2nd and 3rd at Anglesey last time out. Its the only air-cooled 2 valve bike in the paddock.

Because we are up against late 90's superbikes, it will always be a power struggle so we are building a trick YZF750 for 2014 and with increased sponsorship from Baxi, we need to be sure we can win.

It would clean up in classic racing no doubt at all about that, but its not a series I want to be in really hence the sale.

We are at Mallory this weekend and wont stop trying to get on top of that podium, most of all I want to thank Dad on TV to make him proud.

Vid from Anglesey, our race is 14min 30 in, you can see what I'm up against !

Hi I saw the ad, good luck on a sale,
If I known then what I know now I wold have waited for you to sell
And thanks for all the usefull info you gave me, Harvey

I know mate, it will make a really good bike over there I reckon.

I had a couple of calls about it for the Manx and they were saying next years rules hadnt been published so were unsure, so I just emailed them and got the answer straight away almost, off the eligibility officer.

If it does go to race over there, then I may just take my first ever trip to the Island to see how it goes....then get jealous about the fact that I sold it !

....part of me is thinking am I doing the right thing, its the only bike ive ever had that I truly love but for what I need it for its just not quick enough against the ZX7R's, VTR's etc.
