    So what are you buying here? A dream?

    Having embarked on a similar build, yes the frame the backbone but jeez mate you are about 30% there and left with an engine that likely needs a rebuild and tuning to match.

    The big hitters of cost.
    Wheels , FZR250? Nah, late model R6 maybe
    Forks
    Brakes
    Shock
    Tank
    Bodywork
    Loom (std won't fit properly)
    Carbs
    Air box
    By far the biggest; expansion chambers.

    We could just go on and on. But it will be interesting to see how much it goes for.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Look at this cliche and 5k hiding a slug on wheels

    I do applaud that at least he's made an effort with the picture shoot. Should appeal to the type of art students he is aiming at.

    What am I missing here? This is a new 2015 model with no mods apart from maybe some custom paint or stickers? and he wants ten k more than a new one?

    Apparently the limited edition stickers are worth ten thousand dollars.

    Dreaming.

    That's not a bad effort there. Most look like hacked together pieces of junk. Overpriced of course, but that's only my opinion as the seller appears to have some interest in the question section.

    He's getting the usual "Is it LAMS approved" in the Q&A... he's telling them that it is. 158 watchers btw.

    Nope it just makes you look like some sort of trendy hipster fuckwit. Every idiot over here has a big dumb beard just like the NZ immigration minister.

    He needs to find a well heeled Burt super-fan who happens to want a cruiser.

    Adding the lawnmowers seems to have rounded the number up slightly

    You can get a 2018 new one for US$10,000, which is less than half price: https://motorcycles.autotrader.com/m...cout/200493990

    It doesn't look too bad. I mean both front and rear mud guards are hideous, the muffler and muffler wrap is hideous, the side fairing panel things are hideous, the boots are hideous and worst of all the speedo/tacho are god awful repugnant (why people customize bikes and than neglect to do anything to the speedo/tacho is beyond me). But besides all that it's not to bad.
