I'm not up with the pommie stuff but surely that's well under priced??? Enough to make me think it's a scam.
Anyone know the seller or the bike?
-
I don't know, given the market is shot to shit at the moment, and the bloke is clearly desperate to sell. It's probably on the money.
It's a very targeted market selling old British stuff, as there is a reason no one wants it! LOL
-
It's not a scam as I know the bike. Price has dropped dramatically over the last few weeks.

LOL .. all interesting points :)

This bike advertised for $9K not long ago, it would have to be worth about $12K, if l can sell a KX l`m buying it !
-
What's it eligible for though? I would have thought that being a 71 it can't be pre 70 so must be pre 75 maybe?? Or is it a carry over model?

He's also selling an original unrestored old valiant that is begging for a "pimp my ride" job, for those Chrysler fans? Its in WA so maybe a good package deal for someone? Fly over, hook the BSA onto the Valiant & cruise back home to......
With 1 weeks leave & a mate, could be a perfect holiday trip :D :o ::)
-
Well Digga..look again..it is a Centura...it is all yours mate.. prolly won't make it home..BSA however is a nice bike..

Steve Centuras are a fast little car with a 265 (or 245) hemi motor fitted. They are light weight and can be made to go like hell .. similar to a Torana.
I'd have one for sure :)

^^^^^^ Agreed

bargain of the year I would say. So much so I would think it is a scam.
If it isnt a scam buy it quick. I have seen motors sell for more than that and on that basis this one comes with a free bike! If anyone is coming to Farleigh and will be sending their bike over in a crate and would be happy for this bike to come with it, I'll send the money now.

Same but different? Not really.
Early CCM that has been modified to take a Jap motor means that the frame has been cut about which will drastically affect the price.
And what class to you ride it in? In the UK is isnt pre74 anymore. It is a no mans land bitza. To reverse the mods would cost an absolute fortune and would make no sence. Just build a new one.
That said it looks good, I bet it is loads of fun and goes like the clappers! Could be a cheap toy for someone. It will never ever be worth CCM money, because it no longer is a CCM. A standard B50MX will always be worth more and unless it is ultra cheap I would choose the B50 every day.
(oh, bugger it I would buy them both!!!!)

Ive checked it out, it's legit as far as I can ascertain.

Not my "cup of tea" but looks cool & is good buying at that price. I declined one offered to me for $3K about 10 years ago, not as nice as that one, but not far off it. Personally I'd rather race an MR50, but surely someone has to buy it for those $, even though freight is most likely a consideration.
The media has a lot to answer for as well, how many times do you see some fat git or pretty boy on tv spruking not to pay full price & to haggle, haggle, haggle? Plus the state of the frickin' economy, nothing is really different unless you've lost your job. They should shut the fu*k up with all the doom & gloom & stop instilling fear in the community. It would be nice to some real news for a change, or some happy positive news, rather than oh woe is me & the rest of the world, or how Kim kardashian is making another music video!
Damn I'm getting grumpier in my old age.

"Personally I'd rather race an MR50"
I love it ;D ;D ;D
I reckon we should donate a trip to Iraq for the kardashians which would make this world a better place
