Superbikes for £4000

Some of the most exciting bikes ever built are now available as used bargains at under £4000.

In MCN, out on Wednesday, July 14, we road test four dream machines you can get your hands on for as little as £3600. They include a Ducati 916 (now between £3800 and £5400), an R1 (now between £3600 and £5200) a 2000-02 FireBlade (now £3900-£5200) and a 98-01 Aprilia RSV 1000 (£3800-£5400).

Take a look in our BIKES FOR SALE for the latest examples. New ones are added every day and there are now twice as many brilliant bikes to browse.

You can read the full test in Wednesday’s MCN. It includes our quick tips on what to check on a bike you are buying – and how to do it. We also reveal the problems you should be careful to avoid with each of the models. For example on the 916 cambelts must be changed every two years or 12,000 miles, and on the RSV clocks can go awry.
