I owned one when you could get them for $800, they were known as a "vanilla" motorcycle in the two wheels reviews when we still had bike mags. But if you want to pay 8k be my guest.

I remember when you could buy a rego'ed warranted HQ 308 out of the local buysell for $800. And they were 'vanilla' cars then. Now see what you pay. It happens. Old shit goes up in price. Time to move on.

The GT looks original and from that photo like its brought back to near new. That will continue to appreciate so he might get near his asking which is the point. And he could ride it somewhere.

That looks much nicer than the vast majority of stuff that features here. As has been mentioned, it's also way more rideable.

I saw it and seriously considered buying it.... not phased by the price at all.

improvement on the original though, no? Back in the day the only thing less cool than a CB400N was a CX500.....

[Banditbandit]

The real question is how the fuck did it get to Puhoi?

Slowly mate - like every other Harley ..

Ah yes the CX 500/650 those were the days when everything from dishwashing liquid to Diahatsu Charades sported a turbo logo.

Nah I am talking about the CX500 which was and is known as the plastic maggot. 12 horsepower and boring but reliable. Its why I cannot understand why people want to cafe them up (though there are some cool ones).

The Turbos were regarded as exotic and kind of cool. Though in the 80's the undisputed best one was the GPz750T. Followed closely by the XN85 Suzuki. Yamaha did the XJ650T too but I think I saw one.
