I was in town today and saw a Suzuki RG125 I liked the look of it so I looked on autotrader for one. There was no 125's but there was this 500. The price can't be right surely.

It is stunning and I would cut off 12 grands worth of testicles to have one but 12 grand, 12 fucking grand. Does it run on air and the exhaust gases are made of gold molecules or something? 12 grand.

I think that has been for sale for a year or more but it could have been a different one going for around the same price.

You're always offering testicles away, wasn't it you that offered a left testicle for one of the ugly bikes on the other thread? What's with you man? Have you got a supply of amputated testicles in a jar at home or something? Laughing

Hi

Could be fun, but too much money for one (that said someone is trying to sell a new Bimota SB6R on Ebay for £20k, probably about double its value).

However think there was an RG500 for sale in Aus for even more, although it was new.

All the best

Keith

In the late 90's alot of people owed me money. I aquired a fair amount of testicles assuming the economy would crash leaving money worthless and testicles of higher value than women. Ohh how wrong I was. Sad

I've seen similar condition bikes go for £5-6k, wasn't there one in Australia that was brand new never been run? I think that went for about £12k

Still had the original '80s Japanese air in the tyres Mr. Green

It went for more than £12,000 but I can't remember how much. It was a lot though and it didn't meet its reserve.

The world has gone mad. RG5s aren't all that. I'd have an H1 for half the money and twice the adrenalin rush myself.

I drove my brothers one about 15 years ago, back shock was fucked and was afraid to open it up as its "MotoGP replica" reputation put the shits up me..a very non-eventful ride really.

Funny enough, I was driving it to my uncles place to put in storage, its been there since only a couple months ago when my brother finally got around to selling it.

Can't remember how much.. couple of Thou I think ..
