I hadn't checked the other thread in a day or 2, hadn't seen that.

The legendary "von Trigger" is for sale.

If I wasn't hell bent on buying a boat, I'd buy it myself.

Yep its a RD07

**BMWST?** · 4th April 2009, 18:10

some people say the rd07 is inferior to the rd04.Why?

**Eddieb** · 4th April 2009, 18:17

From memory like a lot of bikes it got heavier and more road, less trail orientated as the years went on.

infact I'm certain it is.

**Padmei** · 4th April 2009, 19:02

Isn;t that pretty pricey for a 1996 bike? Looks good but nearly the price of a new bike??

**buggsubique** · 4th April 2009, 19:11

'pends on the bike I spose, but I would have thought that'd be top dollar right there! Prolly won't get a similar bike that cheap to be fair, but yeah at a pluck mid-high sixes perhaps?

Still, this forum has probably just caused an inflationary effect over the last 6-8 weeks!

But... you'd be pissed off knowing this bike went for (presumably) around the $5750 is was advertised for only to be relisted a month later for 1/3 the price again! or a GP of just under 25%. If it was shipped by motorcycle movers say take $400 (generous) out of that to give a net of (arguably so lets just say) 20% or $1500 to the clever bike trader.
