I'll go 15,000 pounds as well. Still seems cheap compared to what some production bikes sell for.

i'm with you Shane after all its a unobtanium works Honda gotta be worth $20K pounds (whats that in Kilograms?) to the cashed up works collectors around the globe.

i am still amazed that it is getting auctioned and has not be passed to another buyer privately ? great to see these bikes and others have been saved from the crushers, it our sports history after all.
