I am guessing this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/classic-vintage/auction-575841793.htm

I do like the look of this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/classic-vintage/auction-574905957.htm

If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Get over it.

Oh FFS any minute now you will get some three numbered angry little figment foaming at the figurative mouth and looking for someone to rage against!

And, yeah, what Ducatilover said.

[YellowDog]

I must say that I do like some of the old classic bikes from yesteryear.

I had a chromed up RD400 and thought it was a great bike. I wish I'd kept it.

BUT I would never pay the cost of a new bike for something that's 30 years old. No way Jose :no:

If you want a classic looking bike, buy a retro :yes:

[Voltaire]

This is my favourite long running TM classic bike.....http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/classic-vintage/auction-302675458.htm

He also has ones for other bikes with a partially disassembled Rocket 3 in the background , mainly so he can say "its not for sale"

Hey Ducklover, Want some Vasaline, to make being on the end of the broomstick more 'comfortable'?? :gob:

Seriously though, even if someone is 'crazy' enough to part with 15k for it? You'd be looking at another 5-10k to fix it up properly..
Now 15k for a pristine ORIGINAL 'straight pipe' H1?? Mmmmmmmmmm, the red one pictured in the thread would be an A(mk2) or B at a guess, or was 'retro fitted' with the swept pipes

There must be some suckers around since so many people go to the problem of posting absurd auctions. I found this:

That same car costs $98,900 US in the USA or about $118,000 Kiwi. They are asking $245,000 for it. According to the list of features the front calipers are painted and the suspension is lowered. I guess that is the reason... :facepalm:

The 911 C2S RDK retails at just over $260k here. So it's only lost $15k on new price...

It does come with TWO seats tho. :crazy:

I think that, as long as an item for sale isn't being misrepresented to deliberately deceive, the vendor is free to ask as much as they want for it. No-one is forcing you (or anyone else) to buy it (at that price or indeed any price) - why be so outraged and consumed by it?

[94ZZR1100]

YOU THINK THAT IS BAD!? HAVE YOU SEEN HOUSE PRICES. :crazy:

You need to have a chat with Crazy Steve.

You need to have a chat with Crazy Steve.

I've had too many of those over the last few years. I'm still seeing the therapist...

[F5 Dave]

I'm with the OP. Dreaming, for a bike that has the all important pipes missing. Strangely seems to be a dealer of some sort (see other listings) & has a nice 500 at a far more reasonable (salty but not crazy) price.

Fuck .. I remember a time before RDs existed (I was riding bikes then too.) Those aren't classics .... they are moderns ..

[pritch]

Some people have more money than sense. I remember a Customs auction where somebody paid more for a seized Mercedes than it would have cost for a new one.

On reflection, I guess the door sills may have been full of cocaine? :whistle:

[imdying]

Fuck .. I remember a time before RDs existed (I was riding bikes then too.) Those aren't classics .... they are moderns ..Except of course, anything that was made before you were born in a classic... all that shit you rode as a kid, they're moderns... ad infinitum? Or does the dick measuring stop somewhere arbitrary?

well, if we're measuring mine, it arbitrarily stops just shy of 12 inches.
