Hi Guys, thanks for the comments, Really appreciate it.

please note that there was an error on the listing and I have cancelled and re-listed.
Its on these still.
Dave

Are you selling the RH250 as well?

[maicomc490t]

Hope you get good money to help you guys out and let's hope the bike stays in Australia for all to enjoy and certainly not locked away in you know who's collection of mothballed speculator items inside old bike crates (very sad!) - that RN is too nice not to be seen out and about!

Would I sell the RH? I hope not, with all the VMX action it and I have done I would hope that my son will end up with that along with the 53 Velo I have. The RH and I are really close but that said what selling the RN is all about is similar to renting a house, you never really own anything, you only lease it for the time its in your posession.

mmm...wonder what my house is worth in the current financial fiasco..prolly not as much as the RN being cynical as I really wish! :'(

Dave will no doubt be able to confirm...but to say that there are only 5 in the world..there were 5 on the west side of the island in the '70's...along with NZ and the Old dart..they were probably more around than people realise.. That said still very rare....

a lot of treasures are coming out at the moment, much better most other things in your portfolio. Good luck with the RN, I might make a deposit.

1974 Ducati 750SS (otherwise known as greenframes) - $80K + and my old girl is staying with me till I die. I've got another one that has always been considered a super fund to help out the kids one day but like most of my shed it's still in the kit bike stage, lol !

Right now the banks can stick their shitty interest rates and I'm not playing Russian Roulette with shares I know zip about so bikes have it in my book.

Good luck to all bidders on the RN

quite a few Manxs for sale at the moment and other interesting bikes, cars, like anything else they will be worth less and hader to sell. Of course there is always the option of geting the Chinese to copy the RN400 and making a bomb in the replica market.
