Ben Bostrom, who cares!!!

Ducati make so many "specials" and limited editions that a casual punter has no fucking clue whats what. I think that it actually devalues the brand overall. Plus they generally are expensive POS's and fragile. I do like that Scrambler platform though.

I don't know man - this special lark sounds like a brilliant plan.
It's clear no one rides them much so you don't have to make em to last as they sit in the lounge as investments or pieces of art and you can command a premium for them!

14k as a starting point. Form an orderly que here,

Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Local Honda dealer has a nice one they did for the CB contest a couple years back still sitting in the shop - pretty sure it's listed as $17 (no doubt talk turkey after two years) and is basically brand new with warranty. And it has the coolest cow hide seat. So I'm thinking $16 on the black one is a bit high (plus I don't think it's improved a lot ....
On the link check out the close up image of the rear wheel - is that cracking of the tyre sidewall by the rim?

Well spotted. Yep got to wonder what's going on with this guy... "good riders only"... c'mon... what's a test pilot to do??

I never really got the appeal of Bostrom either. Sure, you had Foggy and Bayliss, Corser and Chili and heaps of riders on these machines back in the 90's and early 2000's, they all led me to wanting one for years and finally buying one too, but I just never got bitten by the Ben Bostrom Bug... That being said, when I picked up my 996S a few years back, the dealership also had a Bostrom rep (UK model, I believe) which was listed at the same value (give or take a hundred or two) as a MINT condition RC45.. For some reason, people love 'em! Personally, I'm not a fan of the Testastretta engine or the decals but hey, I don't have to buy one haha!

So this Stealership wants $500 more for a used one with 3.5k on it than a new one????

I can see that a bit of money and a lot of time has gone into this and the countless other lookalike bobbers but really cannot see the value...

Oh that one again. He gave up last time. Clearly shit to ride but that black tyre white tyre thing looks poxy even on that pox riddled shitter.

Interesting. My theory - it has a grand plus of fruit on it (exhaust and protection) is run in, serviced and ready to thrash. Still I think they should have it $500 less than a new one (if not more).

A cafe racer is not a bobber. I'm just saying. In fact its the opposite.

You could get far better works of art, for your home or office, for $13k. Saw a V8 engine coffee table at a mates office. Looked so cool. Got the idea off Top Gear. Says it cost him $1,500, all in

But, but...Crosby built it, so it must be worth this much!
Ps: That's not a MKII cyl head.
