    By that logic I'm sure this car has been on TM for about 3+ years, slowly dropping in price but not by anyway near as much as required:

    There was a Triumph Bonnie on Tm for bloody ages. Big bucks but not unrealistic if it had been a minter. OK it was mint but most chrome parts has been brass plated ....... kind of weird, figured the owner worked at a plating place and dropped a few parts in the drink every day .........

    Oddly, the Suzuki NZ website hasn't had any GSX-R's on it for ages.

    (Not saying you can't buy one, just thought this was odd.)
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Optimism has to be wanting more than AU$30000 (NZ$25000 ?) for a GT.
    Them old 'bevels have got spendy.

    Looks a lot later than a 1972 model, early clocks and forks combined with later tin mudguards and 1974 ish tail light.

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ducati-GT750-/191892997383

    The bikes are expensive but was lucky enough (thinks I ) to pick up this head today for my own 73 GT for a fair price .

    That is pretty weird. I presume they have visions of some rich feller glass casing it in their living room and proudly showing invited guests their pride and joy... "Never fired up since the race... never even washed... check out those awesome flies... and it made 3rd!!"

    Aside from anything else, how are they going to dust around the flies?

    Piece of cake. Once they've set, it's easier to remove tar than insect goo.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
