OMFG I LOVE IT!
If it wasn’t fitted with the drive for the wrong side of the road I’d buy it.

I really hope you get what the Duke is worth. There is a 998R for sale here (imported from the UK because none were sold in Aus) - 1800km and they want $95K for it 
Your wife will be very happy with her kitchen?

I bought that bike 3 days after my dad died. Spent inheritance money on it so i didnt waste it.
Never ever dreamed it would be the value it is now. Thought it was a “safe” investment. But the thought of selling it breaks my heart. I don’t even know its true value. It will take a chunk off my mortgage and buy a kitchen. Good enough

Mate that puts a whole new perspective on things and I think @keets is right. Do you really need to sell it?

It‘s just a Bike, man. Sell it while it‘s in good condition. And while it has not killed you yet. It‘s a beautiful symbol for freedom, but you won‘t be free when the bank chokes you for interest and your wife is unhappy with the new kitchen.

I have never had a passion for motorcycles. When I was 16 I had a little 50cc Simpson and I managed to scare myself on it a couple of times…so that bike would probably kill me within 30 seconds if I was to jump on and take it for a ride. So with that bias in mind, I’m with @Poneybirds, although giving up such a beautiful machine that you have obviously taken great care of would be difficult.
I was “working hard” today. A fear of flying course and two more trips in the 737-800 sim. Three trips in our F4 full motion sim. The last client produced his RN logbook. Sea Vixen fighter pilot with lots of carrier traps. After a staff tour he converted to the F4 but never landed it on a deck as Ark Royal was undergoing a major refit. Never landed a Phantom on a deck until today!

So true.
If I ate like that on a daily basis I would likely weigh over 500 pounds. Probably won’t have another meal that crazy for over 6 months.
