Look be not afraid of telling me to bite my ass.
Lovely bike and Im sure it's great race bike. Id be a happy chap if someone pays you 11k for this bike.
IMO your bike is not 100% mint pool room condition and may not make the 11k your after. Similar bikes too yours can now be purchased from the states at around 5k and with around $800 to $1000 import costs you may struggle to find the correct buyer.
Good luck with your sale as it gives us all hope that there is a few well cashed buyers in the market.
