    Never heard of that but a Google image search reveals loads of images of the model. Who knew?

    Most of the references are in Japanese or Indonesisn which prompts the thought that it might be a model for the Asian market.
    Apparently it's a "factory custom" which is also something of a surprise.

    Bloody bargain compared to that $9,500 FXR bucket that was on TM a while back.

    Yeah i checked as well
    Tts hard to believe the same person designed the front as the back its like it was designed by a committee of crack addicts.
    Either that or someone went through the parts bins and looked at what they had left.
    The tank almost looks like it should be off a TL125.

    Yeah that was a running joke in the pits that one. Heck I sold both mine for circa $2500ea and both came with . . . Hmm, seems I've misused the word providence perhaps a little, but precedence isn't quite right, but at least they were good enough for some middle aged unjockeylike doofah to win races titles lap records on.

    That CBR looks well from sorted, more just rolled, bowled and ready for a lie down.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Did it ever sell? Was properly over priced that one.

    That CBR isn't a race bike, track hack should be its title.

    I had my eye on one of those in the late 90's at a yard I was working at, one elderly lady owner in NZ (we knew her) 1979 SC in white (rego I'll never forget MW911) that we had asround $28000 on. It wasn't a large amount of money considering we were selling S4 RX7's in auto for $16k, GTST Skylines for $20k. But I wanted speed back then and as fun as it was to drive it wasn't a 'fast' car. What an idiot.

    Now the 1993 Carrera RS factory race car was fast. But scary.

    Imagine how many nice things 90k would buy? I can see how it might have cost around that to build 17 years ago (why in the fuck but meh) but to ask that now?

    Damn that's gunna take some beating for most optimistic seller ever

    i've been to dutton garage a couple of times lot's of interesting stuff and their stock seems to move so they must be selling. what amuses me is the $89.990 pricing, everything's ten dollars off the ten grand pretty much, do they think we're all pack and slave shoppers, or warehouse bargain hunters with that pricing style? for another $10 people can puff their chests out and say they threw $90k on the floor and strut round, might even get more sales to the egotistic buyers?

    Apparently their asking prices and their sale prices can be very different - the definition of optimistic. They do have some cool shit though.
