All for the price of $31,500.

110 HP is cool and all and "This is not a Harley but it goes like all Harley's should" is nice and all but I think you can get a cruiser with more reliable parts and perhaps greater horsepower for less than $31.5k

Just my thoughts. What are yours Drew? I would probably test ride this work of art before I buy it

Most expensive boat anchor I have ever seen....

Turned up to see a Ducati for sale the other day ... bought my helmet & boots if he'd let me ride it but wasn't sure how he'd feel about that. Guy said "take her for a spin" and "no need for your ID you look OK" when I went to get my licence out.

I didn't realise there were such trusting decent people still around. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

No punchline - I didn't drop it or steel it (but I did sort of feel as though I should have done ....)

I wouldn't ride it. My wife's Carolla 1400 has more power for fuck sakes.

$2800 for what is essentially a stock bike with the charging system removed and pretty paint job...

This is roughly $800-$1300 off what this bike is worth. It looks well presented, but I recently bought a well presented bucket for a lot less than that.
Even if it still had all its road gear on it would be priced too high. The fact that it is still on TM shows that it's not priced well as usually buckets are a collectors item so chaps like a few in their fleet.

I can't help wondering what he would say if someone sent him an email offering $1800

the FXR I just bought was cherry/unmolested with 1100KM on the clock, $2600, minta that did 800KM getting back home no worries

--- if I add "bucket" when I go to sell it, reckon i'd get another K for it ?

1k less?

FOR SURE!

These were off the menu "customs" went for 40+ k depending on the options. The two I have seen in person were $50k+.

Not my cup of tea but certainly to the right buyer more than $5 and a bag of chips.

Old herald article about the builders. http://m.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/new...ectid=10615237

. Each Road Rage takes over 300 hours from design to finish. To buy this one? "$135,000 would own it - but it owes us more than that."

Once upon a time in a west Auckland 16 years ago while on a hiatus from riding a rather shiny bike turned up at a bar I was working at. Had a bit of a natter with the owner... he seemed real keen for me to take it for a spin.
Having not been riding for a few years I was kind of tempted right up until he told me how much he paid.
He told me he paid $56k... after "near twisting their arm off to get a good deal"...

Didn't seem like the sort of dude I wanted to negotiate with let alone owe a new custom bike to.

No! He would never!

The only fun we would be providing in this thread is for

"Bike: Katanasaurus Rex
Location: The Gates of Delirium"

Other than that, anyone can spoil anything these days buddy!
