If I was a bit more cashed up I'd consider buying that Metisse. It's a real deal late Mk3 650 Trumpy and legal for pre '65. Get rid of the bodgy street equipment,  fit a pair of side panels and sticker kit and  give her a good going over with the Auto Sol and 'Hey Presto'... you've got a pre 65 front runner for less than half it's real world value.

So $14,500 NZD wins it, someone must have loved it a lot more than I would have thought. ;D

Now that is not a cheap weekend dirt ride  :(

14,500.00 NZD              =11,266.34 AUD
New Zealand Dollars        Australia Dollars
1 NZD = 0.776989 AUD         1 AUD = 1.28702 NZD

its really pushing our bikes market value up---good or bad  :-\

I mean good if you already own one, but one sale does not a summer make.

The Rickman is never going to be especially cheap, that one looked like it needed a lot of work and T120 motor gives it that Bonnie with knobblies factor.
