my advice for "ole mate" would be to put it back under its' blankets and covers and hang onto it for a few more yrs, :-X  no doubt he'll get it, but not for a while yet :(

well im glad i dont live in denmark then,  :-)

ive picked up 2 complete running unregistered bikes in fair/poor
condition for $400 and $600. 

for the prices some of these have been going for id want a mint condition
bike with the original exhaust still fitted.

@petejw1966

:D Happy to see you guys finally start to pay for fun, been crying envious tears everytime my brother (lives in Merrimac,QLD) has bought himself a new mechanichal toy  ;) 

Up here in Denmark a fully restored XS11 could go as high as 9-9500 Au$, a halfway decent 6500Au$ and a lucky deal for a total piece of junk, just barely able to get registration/numberplates approval from the authorities will net you a minimum of 3500 Au$...This mostly due to the fact that we have insanely high taxes on importing/registration of vehicles, around 180% of the factory-prices  >:(
