Well, this is awkward...
How will he be able to (legally) get a WOF for that back end?New rego and WOF will be issued on sale.

Why is this worth $85000?
Does it have provenance and a full works race kit or summat?
I would ring Cyclesplat to ask but a) I am just a tyre kicker; and b) when I did want to buy a bike off them, I phoned and said "send me the paperwork and I will send you the money" and they sold it to someone else that afternoon. So fuckem. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

if an NC30 is worth 10 how can that not be worth 100G.?
there was a ex TKA Kawa ie semi works Slight Phillis etc team ZXR750 for sale on TM a while back at a pretty decent price ie less than 30. think it was only 24g

That's cheap. Most of the ones I've seen overseas are selling in excess of $NZ100k.
It looks horrible though. I hate those 3 spoke wheels with a passion. In black too. Yeah, nah.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

The ad is very poor IMO. Much more info is needed. As HDC has said - provenance is everything. Condition is important too. How long since last engine rebuild ?
If it's reasonably fresh and with known provenance that's not a bad price. But a potential buyer needs to know.

It is a terrible ad, but most bike ads are copy pasta from the manufacturer's online marketing. 1987/88 is a long time ago now. This bike would leave Cyclespot's staff confused as fuck. It's a middle-weight, tiddler lady's bike with no HP compared to most new sports bikes, even in race trim.

Geriatric hoon
If it was raced by Freddie Merkel maybe but then they'd have mentioned that. I'm told by a former insider that Cyclespot still have one or two knowledgeable salesmen but most are now very 'ordinary'.

What does HP have to do with its value lol
Forum whore
Absolutely nothing to those who know.

Which begs the question, why even raise the issue of HP? Serious question as the only people who would buy the bike would know.

It would have to be Freddie Mercury's bike.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I think you missed the point. I was talking about whoever put the ad up doesn't understand what they are advertising. So low effort ad as a result.

Sure the advert is very poorly written but the more important information would be provenance, mechanical history etc. Things particular to that bike. Anyone who knows what they’re looking at knows the HP but not the other important information. But maybe you’re right, maybe there’s ignorant RC30 buyers out there that are expecting a super high HP race bike and not some ‘tiddler lady’s’ bike…
"channellling the Pleideans"
If it was, wouldn't you lead your ad with "Raced by inaugural World Superbike Champion Fred Merkel, contains full HRC works race kit including unobtanium conrods and an ECU made out of unicorn tears and angels wings".
I could be wrong but arent those "ugly" 3 spoke wheels magnesium Dymags? I can't zoom in enough to see.
