Does anyone pay this guys prices!?

This looks immaculate, but is it worth the 10k asking price!?
A little sceptical to be honest.

There's a shop in Reading doing that sort of thing.
They are charging easily at least twice what a classic/cult bike should really go for. Presume the idea is they just need to sell one to cover the costs for a month or two.
They always used to sell bikes in terrible condition for a bit inflated prices, so I'd be incredibly suspicious now (the one in Reading.)

There is/was an SP1 on eBay recently for £10-11k.

It's not as mad as it sounds. Bikers are ageing, there's money around but it's not being spent on new sportsbikes. Flogging born-again-bikers their teenage dream machines is smart business.

It doesn't matter if 99% of people won't touch it at that price, they only need one bloke with a city bonus or pension lump sum to rock up.

I know a bloke who has only last week paid £7950 for a brand new unregisterd 97' TL1000S. So yes, folk will pay that guys prices.
