    Then you would be best to answer the question:

    "Is it really worth the money?"
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Quite a few years on an RV90, then an RD250, then a GT380, then an Austin Mini, then a LandRover / CB400 combo had to come first...

    The V-rod is the first vehicle I ever bought new. Well worth the wait :-)

    Its just jealousy to a certain extent, and a bit of scoffing at the "Cash in now, honey" mentality displayed by Mr S... my estimate is that the asking is a $20k premium over a second hand value of the thing.

    my point is he could have gotten something actually cool for that money:

    A Confedrate WRaith lists at $47800US, so $67k NZD.

    A Confederate Hellcat lists at $62kUS, which is a bit more than the $77k, but dang, who wouldnt want one??

    Too many knocks to the head means no imagination.....

    The reason its so much is because there is probably like 25k on the clock, and that was just him riding it home.

    It's all pocket money to him, it's like some members on this site with a GN250, it's the best they can afford and no slur on them but to each their own.

    If I were him I too may have abike like that (but a bit wilder and faster)

    If he has the dosh, then why not?

    There is nothing wrong with buying a toy you want if you have the money. Cant be worst than owning a Porsche.
