Taken from the Husky Owners Group

Re: $50K - wow!


This guys prices for his bikes are way off the chart. I don't know who would buy
from him, I guess someone who hasn't done their homework. Take a look at his
website

I choked on my coffee.....as much as I love my sport/hobby and theres two sides to it, ie racers and collectors...are there any/many bikes out there worth that sort of money?...I like some prices to be dear as in the cost of restoring/rebuilding bikes is not cheap and to have a fair re-sale value.....but that Husky to me looks like he's made it up as he went....is there any Husky worth that sort of coin...(the McQueen bike is stand alone I think...still not worth 175K IMO)......farken cool bike but...71 400/250 Cross is definately on my bucket/shopping list.....he who waits.... ;D

There was a 'Russ Darnell" Husky for sale on eBay a few months ago for $8,500.  Kinda wish I had bought two of them. LOL

AZ Mike does put some interesting bikes up for sale.  Take any bike and slap a few trick parts and some stickers on it and voila you have a collectors dream.

It is as expensive as the market can stand..... and there is not much of the market for 50K Mxers left standing I would say. I mean he is free to ask what he wants and we are all free to not pay it.
