.  should be worth that but with all the imports and hard financial times he simply won't get it. Try and buy and then put the money that he has put in and I bet you would spend more. Wish I had a lazy 10 k as I would own it in a heart beat

Yes I know he has probably spent that, even more and it is a beautiful job. I guess it really comes down to how many receipts he can show for NOS parts and whether he can find that guy with a lazy 10K who loves this bike but 10K for a VMX/Retro bike is top top $

This one is an import also ,it was purchased when the oz$ was alot lower than it is now .At 10 G he's doing doh.

I contacted this seller on eBay and he told me he is losing $$$'s on this considering what he paid for it first up plus all the NOS parts, some you can't get anymore, plus all of the accessories plus all of the countless hours of labour. If i had the spare $$$'s i would buy this and race it in Viper Pre 90 this year, i would much rather see this bike on the track than the air hammer Mugen 480 you would pay $11,000 for KJ222... Who's dreamin ??

Has the world gone mad thinking CR500's are the most valuable post 85 bike? They are still cheap in the US except Service Honda bikes.

Impending financial doom, huh?  $10K is probably the shot from the back of the court, hoping someone is silly enough to buy it.  In my opinion, $7-8K is more in line with what it's worth.  It'll be interesting to see how it goes, because less people are buying new bikes, let alone really old ones.

[vmx155]

This bike is definitely worth 10K considering all the new Honda parts on it and the brand new accessories OR you could do this yourself and spend more than 10K OR you could buy one of the other 1989 fully restored CR 500's currently listed for sale on eBay because there are so many to choose from...

The problem with opinions is that every fricker has one and most of the time they are the silly ones. Facts don't lie though and more people are actually buying new bikes according to FCAI figures:

Motorcycle sales in Australia continued to grow significantly in the final months of 2011, according to official figures released today by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI).

A total of 109,067 new motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and scooters were delivered to customers during the full year 2011, an increase of 3226 motorcycles (or growth of 3.0 per cent).

31,938 motorcycles were delivered in the fourth quarter alone (between October and December), compared with 26,750 in the third quarter.

FCAI chief executive Ian Chalmers said the recovery of motorcycle sales was encouraging given some recent years of soft sales nationwide.

The only exercise CERTAIN people do everyday is: jump to conclusions...
