My dyslexia caused me to misread it as 'Salvage'.
The photos didn't serve to convince me otherwise

I'd struggle to see this making this much

It looks great, but it's only fault is it's not an X7. And that counts for lot as they were aiming for different markets. Commuting hack in this case.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Ok this is a lot of wonga.

Heck maybe there is precedent but, well they weren't the factory special that they might have been. They were a distinguished gentleman's bike and virtually impossible to turn into a race rep for which the brand was so famous for. It got shaft drive for heavens sake.
Used to see one running around Wellington not that long ago mind.

And this one I'm just angry about because I want it, or at least to ride it and decide. Should have looked around 15 years ago

They're pretty smooth from memory. Rode a couple when I worked at Welly Motorcycles as a lad.

Ooh!
I need that bike for a full house, wanted one since they came out. I have the last DT and the best TDM, the TDR sits smack in the middle of my sheds era. And I'm still haunted by some dude on a TDR who used to smoke my 750 Kawasaki, lol, going to work each morning in blighty.
Very spendy... And just at the point of expensive electrical things going phut.
Oh dear, I'm so tempted.

You have a valid point re X7 but try to find another in that condition ...... hmmmm future investment, buy now, ten years later .....

That MV - farrrrkkkkk that's a big sale price. Hmmm I'm about to turn 54, statistically going my the live span of males in my family early 80's is achievable. If I keep my Ducati for another thirty years will I leave a valuable classic for the kids?

I could sell you a similar age one with fewer cylinders sooner for a bit less.

brown seat might be right up your alley. an identical bike sold last week in the usa for $55k, there were about five MV Fours at the auction. this was definitely the cheaper model, an MV with pedigreee nonetheless.

i uderstand the rest but the best TDM?Ooh!

I could understand TRX.
Always loved the idea of the TDR but not 9300K
Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken

Really should have the 350ì YPVS engine in it. Seen in a mag with a RZ with a 500 kit like mine fitted to a TDR, but that is just silly

Yeah but it's a bit like a mint Honda CD250. Fantastic commuter or learner, but future classic? Nah, too bread and butter.

I recall as a 15 year old visiting a shop in Costa Mesa California (southern LA) called Ricky Racer in 1982. Had a half doz lined up at about $7500 USD. I remember being a little amazed but as my father had the prior year, spent about 6k USD (about 12k NZ) on a new BMW in the States and shipped it home after a few thousand miles being added to it. The MV's were sort of cool, but......then again, as a 15 year old I'd just spent the weekend riding around on a R65LS BMW mini twin. Meh, you say. This one had a Luftmeister Turbo kit! (okay it was still dog slow. but it was TURBOED and I was 15 and to get a licence in Cali was 16 years old at the time so I thought I was king dick!)
