Another Waste

[grog]

You blokes been talking Bandits and stupiod owner prices. I saw last air cooled, 2007?, it sits in a caravan annexe next to ocean. Has bugger all ks on it, never rides, its just corroding away, already pretty bad. I thought maybe 2g, he said 10. Another few years will be too far gone. lots of work at present but possible. So bloody stupid to waste what could be good. Think it has 3k on speedo.

I believe it, the price of good stuff has gone stupid and folk with absolute junk seem to think theirs should be similar.   I've been after a non-running terminally I'll Busa, an 1135E in a 1000 bits in box's, a GSX750 that the owner wanted to keep the frame and engine, countless others recently... owners want ridiculous money and won't budge.  I bought a scabby rough ET tank for $20 (I think) a while back, one recently was up for $400 and he wouldn't budge on the price.  Trying to buy a Katana tank or 9" EFE headlight is financially frightening now.

As I said earlier... I'd be happy to break a 14 or similar to help my own build and supply others with stuff, but my idea or a cheap bike seems very different to other folks now.

This bike was $20,000 about 4 or 5 years ago. I know I was offered that year / model at under $20k.  I like it but it's listed as "Not negotiable on price".
