I'd prolly give him three if I had it.

Cool story. But you have neither the money, nor the taste.

[Drew]

It's not about taste. It's a nostalgia thing.

A mate has a minter blue one, and its proper mint. I saw that one and thought it would be a great project.

For somebody else.

I had a Titan and a GT when I was a lad of about 16 or 17.

They were rough as guts, ill handling, and horrible. Fuck I loved them

Yeah I'm starting to accept the RD400G project I'm pining for is now beyond my means.
Problem is that people are now expecting restore prices for projects. That GT500 is a project. Restore is lke 4 grand. Prolly 1/2 that would sort a going bike with all the bits there. Double it for something ragged and then keep adding zeros for something iconic.

yip, and save $450 a year on rego, as pre 1977 is classic rego, payback comes pretty quick so that's another reason the value is in the base product these days.

Are you sure on that - Thought classic was 40 years old

oops, meant 77, i've got a couple of bikes heading that way next year, they're 1978

My Stinger is a 1970, but struggling to think it would get a real rego on it.

Hahahahaahahaha. Not a gas shock, so no damping because it's upside down to clear the filter.

Prof as build.

Yeah - it's a beach bike - $5,000 for a beach bike??? No ..

I went to go and take a look at an MV Agusta Brutale advertised on Trademe last night. I'd contacted the chap over a week ago to arrange the time and day and it's advertised as being 'Immaculate' and a lack of use being the reason for selling. I discovered that he'd lost his licence riding it rather too enthusiastically and his idea of 'Immaculate' isn't quite the same as mine (Or indeed many others I suspect).

Yeah there's a lot of that shit around. Some (younger people in particular) need to re-read the definition of the word "mint" as well.
