    Mono shock I can do, It's a natural technical progression.

    But they're still using bent tube perimeter frames that were crap 30 years ago.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Actually I think its a rare example of being aesthetically near perfect. If I had a spare $57k I'd buy about 17 RZs.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Whatever the seller can get for it - and currently the top bid is $55,000 . so someone thinks it's worth that ... The seller will almost certainly get his reserve

    If I could find 17 $3000ish RZ's I'd buy them and ship them here... Yanks like them and are prepared top pay good money for them.

    That shock and swingarm looks to be a very slight variation on a Paul Smart Ducati...but not as cool.

    A lot more than 55k for sure if indeed it checks out,rang the old fella who owned a couple way back just to tell him to have a gander at the auction and he was telling me of a mate of his Roy... who just finished a 48 and getting it ready to be sent over to the Vincent rally in Italy until after a rego/wof etc ended up in the rear end of a carso wont be heading to Italy.I suggested a figure of 75k the old boy reckons without seeing the bike but if it checks out 100ks possible,will see what happens eh.

    Fwiw the old fella rang back after having a gander at the auction,all good with the Vincent and the numbers are correct,here nor there really but the "new front rim" is the wrong size...apparently.Rang his mate that currently has a couple who confirmed numbers etc etc and when asked what he thought on a fair sale price said 80k.

    On a tour last year we fell in with half a dozen other bikes for a couple of days, including two black shadows and a near identical HRD.

    Can't remember what the other bikes were.

    Edit: except for the DR650 that fell on it's tiny wee lady owner, breaking her ankle.
