NVT Yamaha HL500 basket case

[firko]

A lot of money for what it is and the ad is a bit vague in what you actually get for your $6500. Alberta, Canada isn't the most convenient place to ship from either.

Always makes me laugh when they push the point that it's an original and not a GMC like that's an advantage 

An original what  farm bike  given the option to buy I would rather have a modern GMC frame that you know has been built recently by a known craftsman and won't be full of rust you can't see 

it's overpriced IMHO and original is in this case is again IMHO a disadvantage , it's a farm bike not a one off special factory works bike or even a limited production 74 RH or RN Suzuki .

[GMC]

I feel like I'm famous
or is that infamous

I do make a Profab / Hallman air filter basket case...

[bazza]

$K bike
As stated geoffs frame probably stronger and no hidden rust

Hey Geoff

Thats an exceptional example of a farm bike you have there

Bill,

We have to remember as with Musclecars and a lot of other collectables there are two different markets (recreational and investment).  If you are going to build an original that will not be raced it will be worth more than a replica.  As each "investment" bike sells for higher prices it makes Geoff's HL's worth more too.

Even restored I would never race that bike.  So much better to have a GMC replica under you when landing from big jumps!

Personally I would take the GMC package over this thing any day or the week.....he's way over priced on it IMHO...and who know what your getting in the end...origin is not always the way to go ...I bought an original running bike late this summer for 4k...in the USA...

Neither Geoff.......... "notorious" is a much more accurate description............. 

[Davey Crocket]

I'm with you Tony, afterall Geoff is pretty close to Ned Kelly country [to our American friends, think of Billy the kid...lol.]

[Ted]

I'll tell you what Geoff makes really well. Expansion chambers for a 1977 RM 125 B. Your exhaust helped Liam to #1 at the Nats. Thanks Geoff

[mick25]

Geoffs going to raise all his prices now with all this good feed back 

[Ted]

I would too. Having just bought a DG pipe for a 86 IT 200 and having to bend the fu..ing thing into shape to fit,( at my expense )  I am not happy. GMC pipe bolted straight up no problemo

Quality costs Mick, you're in the game. You know that!

[VMX Andrew]

Thinking about getting a GMC pipe for my 490 Maico.
Has anyone been using one for that bike
Just curious to know what the improvements are ??

[Davey Crocket]

You should thank us Qlders for his "B" pipe Ted, we got him to change it..... ......but your right, I have 5 of his pipes and have sold many more.
