Someone will pay very good money for one of those, but I'd have thought $5k would qualify as very good money.

I remember seeing one of them NSR250s at Colemans Suzuki in my early days of motorcycling. I was like "Ha! That's one fugly shit-looking bike!"

My perspective have changed much since then.

My thoughts exactly. 5k tidy, 3k average. Pre LAMS might have been worth it perhaps

Ah, but neither of the Red Baron bikes come with 'new radiator oil' or a new 'break' lever.

I wonder if both of those NSR's are restricted 45hp or the whole fang-dangle 60+hp....
Agree they are very tasty

You are right, they are desirable now. Not sure that is $7,500 desirable though. I looked at one a few years back but it was a bit rough.

I love the "mint for age" comment. It's either mint or it's not - and it's not. Mint for age is not English.

Update: Just saw those Red Baron ads.

You guys in the vicinity might wanna go into Red Baron up there. Ask to see the dudes own bikes. Whitetrash tells me the bikes are quite special. NS400R there, amongst other such toys.

Something about VJ23 RGV250SP was mentioned.

If its Aucks you are talking about, good luck looking at anything.

A mate bought a pretty good MC21 for $5k I think might have been less. Dry clutch model. I think he paid 5 for his vj23. Ridden both and they are cool. Fag packet versions look just a bit saucier but you have to get what you can and he's not a rich dude.
