Still 60K US is still dreaming....<$60NZ is about the going rate for a good RGB with reasonable spares.

Really? Can you show us one "going" for that rate?

Trashie, you can buy your own classic racer (magazine)....!

RG's run about 12-17k sterling, dependent upon history, model and condition. Convert that to NZ....add GST if importing ( I have a vested interest in following the price of big strokers like this for a good reason....) . Exworks bikes or big history will go for more (lots at times).

The big problem with the RG's is the cost of parts. The supplies are very limited and those that have them know it...and charge accordingly. 100 GBP for a clutch plate....1200 gbp for a set of carbs....

Whereas big TZ's, the parts supplies are good as people have remade much of the regular use stuff.

http://www.racing-motorcycles.co.uk/sold.phpno prices sorry

These guys are way over priced and most bikes never shift http://www.classic-motorbikes.com/, though this is not that badly over priced http://www.classic-motorbikes.com/st...f=FC37&Lang=en

Therefore when you add the the cost of the spares that RG has...it's not so bad after all yeah? How many cranks does it have...pistons...clutch plates @ 100 ea?

About 10 G's the man said. Even then I think he's asking too much.

Though they were quite rare in the US given the way F1 went over there in the early 80's (on it's face) so very few of the RG's or TZ 500's were ever imported and usually privately out of Europe. A handful of RS500's made it in. The staple diet of the privateer in F1 was the TZ750 and 1025cc superbikes cross entered.

You never know, some one may cough the dough, but get stung a little along the way, not knowing that similar bikes are cheaper elsewhere, though more work to procure.
