Never been partial to imports, the cost must surely put punters off the sport.
Isn''t there more bikes to be found within Australian sheds and events.

$11K is primo dollars for any bike - will take someone special to buy such  unique beast as that with it's colour scheme etc.

Hello Ali

Very nice !!just imported a DG modified 74 framed CR250  chassis that is already in red,thinking of doing it all red a la the 77 models but its a 74.........that will get up a few peoples noses.....so all the more reason to do it lol :-)

Ok, I'll say what I'm sure an awful lot of people are thinking. Regardless of the quality of work & money gone into that bike, it is absolutely pig ugly & a perfect example of how to de-value a classic dirt bike. Custom paint & style is great while you own it but totally destroys it's value & severely limits the number of potential buyers. IMO that bike needs a full resto. Stevie Wonder wouldn't even buy that bike.

stevie would run his hands over it and go "worst motorbike story I ever read"

[Richo52]

To each their own,I personally think it looks awesome.......a modern take on a classic......Agreed it does devalue it......but hey Elsinores aren't exactly rare......they made a lot of them :-)

I'm with BigK  :'(

I'm yet to see a "custom" paint job on an old dirt bike that looks any good.
Works schemes usually look good, retro schemes can look good (but usually don't) - but custom stuff inevitably looks shithouse.

What BigK said.

[tony27]

What do you mean custom paint, according to the listing it's a restoration so that must be the original colours including rims 

[FourstrokeForever]

Has to be the most expensive and yet the worst looking "restoration" I have ever witnessed on an Elsinore. Looks like it was designed by a 15y/o wannabe with a head full of piercings....

[smed]

The crazy thing is it would have cost the same to do it in original colours & been far more desirable, It floated the owners boat though i guess

Reminds me of that "American Restorations" show, someone brings in a Red Texaco branded bowser & Rick paints it green,puts a mobil sticker on it & says he restored it WTF

[ghostrider]

 ditto Big K & Nathan S , If I had that sort of cake to throw at vintge bike ,it would have to be a true resto ,not a Ricks special like that thing...

Need a 'like button" on this forum.

Description is new, in box, unopened, never had fuel in it etc etc. Needed an oversize piston though.
