Own a piece of GP racing history if you buy this 500cc two-stroke monster
Go on...she'll understand
COMBATTIVA.IT are selling a selection of Aprilia's 500cc GP racebikes at undisclosed prices.
The machines, ridden by Tetsuya Harada and Jezza McWilliams, have come direct from Aprilia's factory race shop and are all ready to go. The machines took part in the 1999 and 2000 GP500 series and come with full documentation.
Wonder if they'll take my 1988 GSX-R1100 in part exchange?
Expect it to reach a figure in excess of £150,000.
