Rare enough?

[Mikey3]

Have any of you seen this little beaut on ebay?

talk about expensive! Gorgeous machine though, but a bit out of my price range

Thats a waste of a perfectly good bike. Its been sitting as a showpiece since it was brought over to this country.

Bikes should be ridden not framed.

Reminds me of Manx TT Superbike on the Saturn.

And I still wouldn't pay £30K for it.

The listing says he hopes it goes into a collection, I hope someone buys it and takes it to a track day and rides the nuts off it. Hopefully send him some pics of it in action too

Subframe looks twisted

Did I say it right?

[biker58]

Just down the road, might ask for a test ride!

its one of those moments, you jizz at how GORGEOUS it is, but while doing that your crying at the same time at the poor things misfortune of not being used
Happy yet sad

I hate nostalgia, especially to that extent! If I was the euromilions winner Id buy it and crush it, then send him one back with 80k on it!

£30k? Must be joking!!

30k on something you can't even use is insane! If you're just going to sit and look at it you may as well buy an 80k (miles) bike and tidy it up a bit!

[Tenko]

If I had millions I'd happily buy it and keep it in my front room unused along with a few others (750SS roundcase, Maico 500, 250S1C etc...), and have a big garage full of ones I'd actually ride. Whats wrong with treating it as sculpture, particularly when a painting was on the news last night because it went to a British gallery for 40-odd million pounds. Hell, you couldn't even sit your kid on the painting...

[DrDonnyBrago]

As above, if I was rich I'd turn up with helmet and leathers and rant it to death on the way home.

[Dilyan]

Doubt that it comes with all the fluids

LOL.

Go buy it, turn it on, red line it.

Sounds good, thanks. Wheelie off into the distance

Either way thats the 2nd one in Maidstone, Lagunas currently have one, not a 1 miler though I'd still rather spend £30k on 2, possibly 4 bikes and a really fast car

[robbieguy2003]

It's nuts for what it is, but I can see it from a collectors point of view - having it in the box is half the value really.

HOWEVER, having a Honda V4 sat there and not riding it would just not happen for me, i'd have to fire it up and ride it. If I was minted then maybe i'd have a few bikes I wouldn't ride, but still, I like riding them so meh..

Euromillions time - I'd be buying two identical brand new bikes, one would be kept stock and the other would be gradually improved - mapping/exhaust/suspension/wheels - the lot - every part put on the bike by an accountant would be swapped for what an engineer would have wanted. Then get track time and ride them both back to back and see how different it'd be. What would that cost - maybe with a pair of blades? £50k-£60k? Yeah that'd be more than double the fun of spunking £30k on something and leaving it in the lounge.

And to add to that. I cant understand it. It's like finding out your absolute dream woman is a virgin, you get her back to yours but just look at her so you dont spoil her? fuck that! get it ridden

[WetAndCold]

But...whats the point? It's as useful as a nuns vagina just sitting in some rich guys mahoosive garage. Poor bike, hopefully the new owner will give her a good thrashing

[crm250]

who ever buys that will keep it on a collection for sure, its very unlikely to ever be used again.
factor in it will likely need a rebuild before it could be used anyway after all this time.

However i can see the appeal of keeping it in a collection - if you can afford it why not ? most have no interest in a RC, to old and slow and not enough pointy bits on it and look dated which is fine, some find them appealing.

I am lucky enough to own a 30 and it gets used in all weather, not afraid of a bit of snow or gritted roads and it gets thrashed too like it should.

I do also own a fully restored as new and totaly original Ducati 1969 350 desmo which is kept in the house and likely to never ever be used let alone fired up. tanks never had fuel in since chroming and refinishing.
