$12,000 KX450 on ebay?

[AjayVMX]

And by way of comparison, here's a bike that is valuable as a great resoration and has already attracted some hefty bids as a result...(although it still has not reached reserve either...)

Thats a NICE A4...

[Maico31]

I've been watching that A4, it certainly is a nice bike. Interesting to see what it goes for, they are fairly rare and not a bad bike either. If it goes over 6 grand US that's pretty good money.

 I must agree, that is a nice A4. That bike's been restored absolutely as it should be. Let me now show you a classic example of how not to do it. This bloke's turned one of the sports prettier and more desirable bikes into a tasteless eyesore. Even though it's probably a nice race bike, he's totally ruined its resale value as both a resto and a race bike. It's a big ask to find someone insane enough to like two tone red and yellow wheels. Sorry to contaminate the Kawasaki thread with a Honda, and a grotesque one to boot.

Being the type of person who doesn't mind a bit of mixing and matching and the odd splash of weird colours I thought maybe this eBay CR firko posted mightn't quite be as bad as he makes out it is!! redo the wheels, paint the head black and whack on some green number backgrounds would go a long way to making this bike asthetically attractive. Still wouldn't look right but better..it's amazing..one of the few Honda models I really do like and they go and do that to it!

The same seller also has had this CR250m on ebay a couple of times aswell. Seems to get up there and then is relisted.

I remember the first listing saying in the Heading Title "Rarer than YZ360A" . COME ON PLEASE get your fact's right mate.

I'm sure they made a few thousand KX450's compared to around 500 or so YZ360A's.

Here's a nice one.

Yeah Doc, and the one in teh USA has the tank badges AND stock Shocks.  Nice bike....

Much cheaper too, for some unknown reason....

::)With regard to the Honda posted by Firko, those busy colours and graphics would be more at home on a modern MXer.
The bloke should have listened to his girlfriend; less is more!
