If one of them has a good ignition I think Hoony might take one of them. Maybe two. Just in case.....

I can't help but wonder about the thought process that lead to the decision to sell what has been such an important part of his life.
If he simply needs the money, you can't argue with that, but if not, you'd simply put them aside and forget about them for a while and hope you changed your mind one day.
I took that advice from Firko with my KX and glad I did. It's now come back out from the bowels of the shed for some more attention. 
Hope David doesn't ever regret this decision...................

 i think the price reflects how serious he takes those hondas, not many people can afford them  and he knows that ,but haveing said that if i was a rich collector and money was no option sure  id buy them just to have them in my lounge room  .(hey kid s move the slot car track  )  were haveing visitors from japan

He was making plenty of bucks back in the day.  I still remember going to Hawkstone Park in 1986 and watching him drive through the pits in his Porsche. 

What a rider though.  I reckon he'd smoke most of the clowns racing the Aussie MX titles even today.  His laptimes on that jump infested track at the British GP last year were good enough to easily qualify for MX1...

I've just been (un)reliably informed thet Sir Bradalot is bringing them all to CD5. All he needs is a B Double to transport them all.

[Hoony]

i thought he may need a convoy of trucks.

As much as I hate to admit it, that era of Hondas were the worksiest (is that a word?) looking bikes out there.
The Euro ones even more so that the U.S. ones.
Thanks for that shot Paul.

God, how i drooled over pics of that bike in MXA. Unfortunately, I could never get over the fact Johnny O beat him on stockish CR125, so I've put my $35k into restoring one of them 

[VMX Andrew]

jonny o beat him at the 1986 mx des nations didnt he....i think he flogged everyone and he was on a CR125....jean micheal bayle the frenchman done the same thing at the 1988 mx des nations,overtook our own jeff leisk on the last lap to claim 2nd outright and leisk was on a factory 500 honda....
