Arai RX-7 GP iomTT 🇬🇧 (XL) Ltd Edition Mike Hailwood aka "Mike The Bike" Tribute. Up for grabs collectors / followers is a super rare Arai 2012 iomTT straight out of my personal collection lightly used on special rides been on display behind glass for years.
There is a minor rock chip pictured on the right side just below the diffuser caused after a ricochet off the sheild. In my collector opinion it is a solid 9.5 because of it..
Only reason I'm selling is it belonged to my ex and it's just sitting there time for someone else to enjoy on display or complete an existing iomTT collection. These rarely come up for sale as they are mainly in personal collections making them hard to aquire. The 2012 is number three in the original tri series release and again low production numbers.
This particular one is designed with the colors of the legendary iomTT 14 time winner Mike Hailwood as a tribute to the champion.
If you can live with the ding? You'll save lots of Chi-Ching !
Won't last long ! As always free shipping 🚢!
