Really? - vinnyb - 22-04-20
Is it just me or does this seem a bit over priced?

From the description:
Quote: This is the bike that the 1987 500cc GP champion, Wayne Gardner rode in the production race of 1982
So if you're a collector, maybe you'd be willing to pay the £22,500 asking price.
Re: Really? - steve 10562cc - 23-04-20
They put the comma in the wrong place should have been £2,299.90 It's nice but the mileage doesn't warrant price.
Re: Really? - YamFazFan - 23-04-20
I bet it still sells for that or thereabouts. Some early Z1's are up to £30,000 now :eek
Re: Really? - VNA - 23-04-20
Traders will always try and push the price of rare and collectable bikes. My favourite phrases on e-bay “future classic” and “can only go up in value”.
Another thing I think many dealers will do. If they get hold of a rare or iconic bike, they’ll stick it in the showroom to add interest and draw punters in. They may have no intention of selling it, it might be the boss’s pride and joy, but hey why not stick a stupid price tag on it, one, just to make folks go ooooooh and generate conversation, and two, you never know somebody might make a silly offer.
Re: Really? - VNA - 23-04-20
As for bike prices. Well never mind bike prices – lets just say asset prices.
Or put another way, try getting a quote for a mortgage right now – I’ll bet it’s hard work.
Asset prices will be going down.
Good time to buy a new bike – doh!
Oh that reminds me, it’s time VNA updated his profile. How do I change GP Hero to BMW Wank?

Wayne Gardner and Wayne Clarke rode a CBR1100R and won the Castrol Six Hour Australian Prod race in 82. Whether it's this bike as they claim who knows.
Re: Really? - coffee - 23-04-20
I think you could only expect this kind of money for an NR750 you know that one with the oval 8valve pistons ? really trick those were,they were a fuckin' fortune when they built 'em so I can't imagine what they'd be going for now! but that 1100's way overpriced IMO as nice as it is.

I think there are an awful lot of optimistic chancers out there, who stick an outrageous price tag on anything approaching old, hoping that some rose tinted bespectacled fool with more money than sense will eventually come along and buy the thing. There are £50k RC30s on eBay that have been on there months. When they're asking £2k for 400 superdream you know the world going mad
Re: Really? - VNA - 24-04-20
How about an unregistered RC30 - 80 grand. Again it's something for the showroom that they ain't really that interested in selling.

Or over 40K for a sandcast CB750 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB-750-K0-SANDCAST-1969-G-VIN-NUMBER-750/283801601601?hash=item4213e4c641:g:jbcAAOSwAxtdgOwy
Oh, I'd love a Yamaha R7, but not at 32K even if it does have the factory race kit - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-R7-YZR-R7-SUPER-SPORTS/264680656465?hash=item3da0324e51:g:IckAAOSwsZlefZyo

To be honest I'd take an R1 over an R7 all day long, just never saw what all the hubbub was with them ?♂️
