Optimistic sellers

Only if you want a punch in the face.

Ahh, Its only a SpamCan H*nda. I almost posted the TZ750 I saw but couldn't bring myself to do it even in the guise of comedy.

I can hook you up with a TZ750, no sweat if you want one. My brother was at a mates place in the UK a couple of weeks back. said mate had 6 (yes six) TZ750's lined up almost ready to be sold, last detail finishing to be done, all basically original bikes (ie Not replica cases or frames)

What are you on about?

you'd be surprised at who has what around nz, there's two RC211's here, at over a third of a million bucks too, the honda's not my cup of tea but someone out there may be interested.

It's nothing so special that it'll be a winner without someone who knows how to peddle anyway.

Egggzzakary!

Probably be better off approaching some of the Honda riders direct for to see what they would pay (if at all) rather than the whole of trademe.

Oh, I know there are some stupid special bikes around. Was there when the Cox 211V went in the van.

But the superbike isnt a special bike. Well, without Johnny Rae on it at least.

Which made me wonder - what is a Britten worth? After all only ten were made.

Quite a bit according to this article.

Yeah, nobody knows. I doubt anyone will ever sell one (at least, not publically).. Which is why I've always said that if I ever won lotto, I'd head over to Barber Museum or someone who knows some of the other owners and expect to either be told to fuck off, or be prepared to part with several million.. Which I gladly would!

The Government should purchase one and sit it in Te Papa as art

I'm in a facebook group where people share pics of interesting motorcycles (its actually called that). The Britten is easily the most shared bike on that page, which is largely Yanks, and all of them have a story about the bike, ie they saw it race here, sat on one there etc. It has God status world wide.

I agree that someone wanting to buy one probably would need to get millions out as I doubt any of the current owners would part for any less. And if one were to appear on trademe tomorrow with a $1m price tag I doubt any of us would post a link to it on here as optimistic.

If I was somehow able to get one, I don't know what I'd do with it though..

I'd want to use it but I'd also be too scared to use it in case I stack it or it broke mechanically after sitting on a display in someone's garage for 20 years. I understand spares aren't easily come by.

It'd probably be cheaper to use it as inspiration and build something new and radical of your own! I've got an idea in my noggin for a 600cc V4.. The fun of a 600 with the torque and delivery of a V4, and slimmer than an inline.. If only I knew how to blueprint and make an engine

Make one of those, stick it in a weird trellis semi-frame, single sided swingarm and a hossack front end..

by far the best of the mid-80's turbos, and low ks and so forth.

I think he might get his asking, or near it.

I'd be surprised if the reserve wasn't met.

Makes that $80k fukwit, for his supposedly unused dirt bike, look more stupid than he is

I think it is worth every penny of the asking price.
