Optimistic sellers

How do you recondition a saddlebag like that? Although looks pretty good. Too good?

These are a lovely bike but at this price - Really?!

A good $4-5k too much me thinks.

They're good for 12k I reccon. So just a little room for 'discussion' on the price.

Your 9-10k is too cheap.

... *sigh* ... looks like ill be putting a bike on the market with a very Optimistic price... bought back my old 500 turbo and have had to spend a bit on it to bring it up to ridable status (was sold to me as still mint and a great runner... yeahhhh na, no bike likes to sit in a shed for 13 years... Graham Crosby recently sold one for 13K... thats nuts but if its what they go for... I wont be asking that much

Trademe would disagree with you. There's one on there for $11k which has been there for ages. I paid $9k for my 2004 V11 Sport Bellagio with 6000Km on it and in good condition recently and that was a fair price I reckon.

However, if they manage to get anything like $14k for it then I won't be unhappy - Means mine will go up in value

$60k for a 2 stroke that from the wof/rego looks to have been parked since 2003?

Surely a typo.

I love peoples liberal use of "barn find" as if that somehow would improve it's value or desirability.

Keep the front brake, sell the rest as parts

A cb350 engine with a sound crank has to be worth 1G

Assuming typo he may get 6 for that but it's not in best condition is it? If its sat that long the crank will need a rebuild. The brakes a rebuild. The suspension linkages pit then wear badly so need some engineering to rebuild, and the power valves will be leaking. After that just consumables head bearings, tyres too old, and try move corrosion from forks and pipes. Then it will be a sweet little bike. Est 4k of fix if you did it all yourself.
