Arrrg! The guy has only gone and sold it for £1475 tonight when he said I could have it for £1100 !!



Oh well, time to phone the reserve advert!

[antonye]

Double arrrg!

The reserve bike has sold too!

[skidlids]

Double unlucky Antony, still I'm sure you will pick one up soon.

[antonye]

Yep - prices seem to be at a premium right now with everyone trying to pick one up!

Will just have to wait and see...

I'd be curious to know what the turnover on ownership of these bikes are - would 20-30 people looking for old 600SS and monsters distort the market? Let's face it, if it was for personal transport almost everyone would prefer the 750 flavours (if the 900/1000's were out of the question).

Similarly, are we all going to get virtually nothing back when 30 x raced 600SS and monsters hit the market at the same time?

Hopefully the bikes will be developed into worthwhile track tools that could also be used for trackdays, you only have to see WJB on his CB500 on a trackday to see power isn't everything and with the odd Ducati only trackday each year some of the cheaper ones should fair well on the 2nd hand market providing they remain useable on the road all be it with maybe a light fitting exercise.
