    That's assuming the fake lawn is thrown in with the deal.

    That is special. Good find. Like the professional tank graphics, gotta be worth the extra $5700 of its worth. Assuming the petrol tank is full.

    $18,000 for rusty pieces of shit.
    reality is that's not a bad price if you want one, they don't make em any more...

    Shall I point out the typo in the starting price? the extra "1" in front of the 5?


    DREEEEAMER.
    I seem to recall that mine only cost $1750 new in 1972.

    Saw an item in a bike mag a while back that recommended these over the 750, partly because they didn't command the same high prices and because they were an all round nicer bike.

    That's a cute little thing. But by summer, knowing Suzuki you'll prolly get a new gsxr600 for similar coin.

    I like CB400s and I like Bol d'Ors, but I can't imagine anyone thinking that was worth 12.5k.

    Holeshot still has one of the L5s for $13k.

    A lot of yanks seem to swear by shit like that. Would be interested to know where they get their data. A 5 year old vehicle with X amount of K's would be a bit easier to pin a value around than a classic, which often involves more emotion than financial common-sense anyway.

    Someone is laughing all the way to the bank because of it either way.

    Ah. I too saw that one.

    I mean the dent and scratches and of course the year only adds character and value to the bike right? I'm sure 12k is just about right.

    NADA and KBB are far from reliable when it comes to actual classics and barn finds.

    Apparently if you put your bike in a classic show it doubles the value.
