You weren't there to check out that Eldo/Ambo in the background? Saw one on Craigslist San Fran for about $6k. That guy from Canada writes great stories about riding his, still can't imagine drum brakes on the front

DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
A 961...poor chap.....must have bought before the 1200 cc Triumph Thruxton came on market.
I think the only time I have had to walk was when my Honda 500/4 ran out of gas near Te Anau in 1984....and the R90s last
year when the top end ate itself in Timaru.
I thought about buying a Triumph 1200 Thruxton...but friggen 25K is a lot to spend on a weekend toy.
When the Jap imports start turning up for around 15K might have a look.

I remember riding one of those 750 Commandos in the early 70s, nice bike for the times. The isolastic motor suspension took care of a lot of the vibration except when stopped. I pulled up at the lights after a nice smooth ride and my eye balls jiggled up and down so much I could hardly see. Nice to ride though, I think I had a 750 H2 at the time.
Cheers
How about this one?
I would be interested in what people think it might be worth.

Depend, some people want things for bugger all and other will pay good money for a good example.
As someone who currently owns two Commandos it looks like good value for money but thats based on NZ prices which tend
to be on the high side compared to the US.
On the face of the add it looks like it is owned by someone who likes it enough to want to use it by fitting sensible mods.
You either buy them to ride and tinker with ( which is part of the fun) or buy to look at.
As far as investment goes......will depreciate less than a modern, but you spend it on maintenance.
Arguably the best British Bike to own as parts are very easy to get and there is a lot of info on the net and they do go quite well. Riding position is a bit too feet forward but it is what it is.
I've recently bought a 72 Interstate and currently getting my 72 Roadster ready for sale.
