I reckon it's probably only half way to the reserve so far.

I'd agree with Johnny O.
Mine is mechanially good (not perfect) and cosmetically a lot less-good than this one of Dave's. I paid $2300 for mine ~12 months back, and most people seemed to think that it was a fair price.
(Personally, I thought that I paid too much, but I just didn't care).
The range of values between a reasonable, complete bike (like mine), through to an immaculate one, seems quite narrow - so even an apparently good one like this one, is quite unlikely to sell for anything much above $3.5k. I'll be VERY surprised if it gets up near $5k.

I've never quite figured out what's supposed to happen if you're prepared to pay the reserve, but nobody bids against you to push the bidding up to the reserve.

You looking for a bike to ride/race, or a Garage Queen, Walter?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

The A model YZ's are worth pretty good money. Nathan summed it up pretty well.

If you bid and hit the reserve it will come up but if you don't reach the reserve the price will only increase as others bid against you.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

In Dave's defence, give him a break fella's, who knows what his current circumstances are. As for the tank Yammiefan, I know for a fact the one on the YZ125A advertised is not the one he got from you. Dave's a decent bloke and has a heart of gold, he just seesm to change his mind about old motor bikes a lot.
Cheers,
K

I'm with BigK, Dave is a top bloke and after all we are all salesmen one way or the other and if he want's to sell then so be it.At least it's giving someone the chance to buy a bike they can race and we are all in this sport to have fun and get more bikes going racing. I spotted this bike at The Gerangamete event last weekend and it is absolutly spottless and should fetch a good price. ;D
