I can't give you an accurate number, but yours was the only one left in New Zealand never to have been crashed. Pity about that, would've be worth lots......

LOL. Well i know of at least 8 not inculding you, there was a massive shipment from Canada of Corona bikes they sold them off at something crazy cheap for a new 600, $13K or something like that. And then the amount that ended up as race bikes as well!

What you want is a 99 SRAD Corona like mine ;)
I think its rare in NZ. Mines an Aussie import and I've never seen another....
