The upside of all of this is that if you thought this bike was worth $3000 less than what it actually sold for it might mean that your Vintage shitter might be worth $3000 more than you currently think it's worth !!

Probably not, the minter NOS bikes always get pretty good money and the shitters get what they are worth. ;D

I am pleased that it sold for what it is really worth. You can't buy a new CRF450 for that.

OK Boys, you were right, I was wrong! I'll take it on the chin.

Whoever said it, it has got me thinking I picked up my bike at the right price. I might buy a better lock for it.

Great that it sold for 10 big ones but i see that bike sitting in a shed or lounge room for the rest of its life because as soon as its taken out onto the track,
I see it losing 2 grand + straight away.

What a fabulous outcome.  "Ka ching"

In real terms it was probably worth more than 10k  but 10k is superb.

I hope the seller enjoys the 10k he thoroughly deserves it .

Hope the people that puchased the Honda enjoy it , i know , i would.

cup half full dude.... anyway that is the fate of anything NOS that actually gets used, it stops being NOS and once again restarts natures cycle from minter to shitter. However there is a ray of hope  :D.... in some vintage bike circles....road race and real vintage stuff like old US bikes Patina counts for heaps..... who knows there may be a movement in VMX against over restoration of original race bikes.

Who gives a flying fark if it loses 2 grand if you ride it?...if I owned it , it would certainly get used...I would have a grin from ear to ear, I think you would find maRc that once a bike has had the "love" put back into it , it would not end up a shitter, how many of your garage queens are going to the Johnny Old?...I'm looking for an extra ride and a mate's now coming with his son....send the whole lot down.....Oldfart would love to ride your TM250. ;D
