My first road bike was one of these, extremely badly reconditioned by Bliss motorcycles in whangarei, it only did a few hundred k's before lunching a main bearing. My first proper introduction to being a bike mechanic. The torsion valve springs were novel too! This is a good example of a bike that looks way better with all its side panels still on, IMO. Uncomfortable to ride but reasonably robust.

Yes that is a nice find of a fukd bike. 7k? Yeah sure.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

64 watchers at time of posting. The same outfit selling this F1 has a few other Dukes (classic, collectables) for similar top end pricing.
Is this a thing now? Are these bikes actually selling for this kind of money? Not mocking the seller despite the thread, serious question to those more involved in the market than I am.
Maybe every SS owner wants to see what it sells for in the hope it drags the later models up.
Heck maybe it' just if I win lotto types.

The Hailwood replica looks nice if expensive. Not so expensive as to deter 90 plus from having it watchlisted though. I'm wondering if that's not an estate sale? Having them all on sale at the same time could depress the prices a tad.
