Good for a museum.
No use at that price as a ride.
Ex UK, now in Adelaide. LC250/350. DT175. Shed full of sh1t in the vague form of dismantled rusty RD’s and RZ’s.

Yeah, can’t see someone paying that kind of money for it tbh

a) Because the lack of use probably means an engine out for crank seal replacement minimum, and

b) If you use it meaningfully it could possibly devalue it

My 400G probably owes me about $6k all up and I am therefore happy to use and abuse it without fretting about it unnecessarily.

After all, isn’t the biggest pleasure of these bike actually getting out on them?
