I know the bike and the bloke selling it (slightly) and it's indeed a nicely restored bike. He came to my place a few time to photograph my bike as a reference when he was restoring his and I gladly admit that his is a tad better than mine but not that much, 25k is pure speculation money. I've been offered 5k mine and knocked it back but would gladly take 7k with 12 months rego and a ute full of spares.
Compare his to mine which I'm currently giving a tidy up for CD9.

He will Never get that sort of money for it , its a very nice bike, he has done a brilliant restoration on it, but not worth 25,000 dollars

Tentatively sold. I've just got to tidy up a bit of shed rash and some wiring and the bike goes to a new owner after CD9.

You just know it doesn't matter how much you got Firko, the day will come and you'll regret it.
At least it will free up some ready's for your other projects.

You never get back what you put into these things Steve. The big problem with me is shed room so if I want to continue my passion for building trick specials, some of the bikes have to go to make space. To be frank, I like that little DT1 for sentimental reasons relating to its previous owner but I've never ridden it and it's getting shed rash from just sitting on display. I'd rather see it go to someone who'll use and appreciate it more than me.

The Boyd and Stellings framed TM400 is next vehicle on the exit ramp.

Is it way too small? A bit of work with the heat gun or hot water could soften it enough to fit if it's close. Maybe some rubber friendly grease as well.

Dad, I dug another hole.
Fair enough Firko, you can't keep em all, how many extensions has Jonsey had to do to store his stash?
