Didn't end up getting time to go and have a look. Probably for the best, mortgage wise.

I went and had a look and would hate to see it stripped for parts, way too good for that, could even be original 75k on the clock as its been sitting for about 13 yrs. A bit disappointed that he started to repaint some of the parts ( wheels, calipers), always like an original bike even if not perfect.
 I would consider buying and strip mine for parts, I hope whoever ends up with this bike does put it back together and on the road.

I was watching it. It's only 5 minutes from my place. Think I might go see if it's worth it to cannibalize for parts for mine.

Good buy now but auctions can make people pay crazy prices.4

 :o Freeking hell, it will soon be the price of one that's still being ridden AND with rego. The winning bidder would sure want to hope that there are no hidden issues with it after paying those dollars.

it's been on my watch list for a few days now and I think it will get a bit too pricey considering the cost of frieght or pickup as well.

anyone here doing some of the bidding?
