    That is a lot of money for something that deserves to be tied to a chain and used to stop a boat from floating off...

    But I've been wrong before/
    Yeah they're banking on the fact that it is old and in good nick, problem is it needs to be old, in good nick AND desirable to ask for good money.

    it is the first model of a very successful line, not silly pricing but will need someone who wants to relive their youth or target that model bike rather than buy it cause it's a good buy.... most guys who broughyt them new are around sixty now, so a good time to get a comfortable upright sitting classic, and cheap rego will save thoosands over the next few years to make it worthwhile

    But look at all the things it has got - nice shiney blingy bits ..

    ELECTRONIC SPEEDOMETER
    INTEGRATED TURN SIGNAL CONTROLS
    CHROME, ISOLATED RISER
    STAINLESS STEEL PULL-BACK HANDLE BAR
    SILVER POWDER-COATED ENGINE WITH CHROME TREATMENT COVERS
    CHROME LOW PROFILE FUEL TANK CONSOLE
    CHROME STAGGERED SHORTY EXHAUST WITH DUAL MUFFLERS
    FORWARD CONTROL

    And it's done less than a thousand ks ..

    So some shithead will buy it ..

    Yeah - maybe. I think they are aiming it at "collectors" ... it's from their 'collection'

    Riders will never pay the same money as collectors will .. and an older Bandit is a better buy for older riders ..

    Brown seat, wrapped headers, "Can hear the oil pump chain a bit when cold", apparently the bike was stripped and rebuilt but somehow there's no mention of engine work on a 38 y.o. Honda with 105,000 km's on the clock...
    Ah but it comes with a full set of gaskets.

    As a refreshing change, here's a bike with a completely realistic seller:

    Oh Gawd. It's over $100 now. No accounting for taste.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Interesting foot controls, heel braking and gear change just can’t figure out how you put your heel under to change up and apparently in the comments he says runs well with petrol going to the carb Really will that’s a new concept!!

    It’s not a motorbike but $1800 for a wrecked car with 233000km and described as having rear end damage. Didn’t mention it’s been rolled bowled and assholed. The questions seem to back up my opinion.

    I'm guessing he can't be bothered parting it so is trying to sell the 'parts' as one. A going 2.8 with manual trans is worth something to someone, some of the interior possibly too. The drivetrain would go great in an E30 shell.

    If it's got a functioning ECU it's worth that much.

    That's worth it for the motor and box. It'll sell.

    He's knocked $5 off the asking price.

    MATE YOUR NEVER GOING TO SELL IT FOR THAT NO MATTER HOW QUALIFIED YOU ARE AND HOW MUCH YOU HAVE DONE
    YOU SHOULD STOP SHOUTING IN YOUR ADD TOO.

    For less money you could have a decent one, with a little numbered plaque Ducati owners love and some pretendy racing carbon bits.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    I don't know much about cars. Has that been Slammed? it's a look I think.
