There's only 2 "dream bikes" for me. That ^^^^^ and the Norton F1.

You know it's a bit mental when it's more realistic to own a Norton F1.

You can see the obvious design idea taken from the NR on the 4th gen VFR's - By far the best looking VFR's... not that I'm biased at all... Wink

The expense is justified because of the traditional and highly skilled metal folding techniques used to make the paddock stand. Very Happy

They were released when I was working at a Honda (and other makes) dealer, in the parts dept. For hoots, we decided to price up what it would cost to build one from individual parts. Think it came to about a quarter of a million Laughing Or some such ridiculous figure.

Considering the average dealer markup, I'm surprised it wasn't more.

I've always wanted one of those bikes... How much do kidneys sell for these days?

The price of kidneys has fallen since the advert for the motorbike was posted.
