Hmmm... and it's here in Canberra too. Intriguing. I don't think he's gonna get that sort of money for an old YZ in today's economic climate!

looks like the Enduro version, bet it is a million laughs on a tight trail. For the money I would want a lot minter than that.

What enduro version? That was an IT

$3.5k is closer to the mark than $13.5k... I'd be very surprised if anyone would actually pay more than $5k for it, and wouldn't be surprised if there were no takers even at $4k...

There's still people paying good money for the right bikes - but there's a lot less of them and they are demanding really good bikes, not just pretty good ones like this.

Hi Kenneth, I know what he was referring too because there wasn't a YZ enduro conversion  ;)

Hey Nathan, there not too many 465G banners around mate! I haven't seen one for the two years I've been looking  ::) Plenty of H models though!

Is it possible that the bike has already been sold which is why the price has jumped to a unrealistic price?

Yeah fair call. I forgot that some people want specific models, and that this is the rarer of the two 465s.
Dunno if it makes it a $13k bike, though...

The H is more desirable than the G for vmx use. There was a really nice 465G on eBay a few weeks ago that didn't make $3500 and didn't sell.
Nathan was pretty right in his assessment earlier.
