2 Strokes Down Under

Check out the standard LC matching numbers on ebay currently sitting on $4,500 I dont think its anything special, however very suprising what bog standad ones ae fetching these days.

Good for me and others with LC's I guess.

Yep, saw that too and was quite surprised how quick it jumped to $4.5k with 4 days to go !

I call conclusion.

The seller has his best mate bidding to give the 'wood ducks' the wrong impression.

That's a $2000-2500 bike.

(I hope I'm wrong - if that's the market mine's a $5000+ bike .)

Hmmm, certainly seems rather quick to jump up thats for sure.

Cant believe no one commented on what this went for..... $7451.00 - WOW !!!

Unbelievable!

Yep - Hey Ozzie, whadda ya reckon yours is worth now ????

I simply don't believe it .

If everything is proportional mine must be a $12,000 bike .

I'm deffo returning mine back to standard when I sell it, seems a shame considering it stops 100% better and handles 100% over oem.

Goes to show people feel more comfortable buying a stockie...................someone must of been pumping the price up for him.

If you looked at the decals tank sticker to high,side panel decal too low and no blacked out lower section, stock pipes dented.............yep I can't believe it .

You could have landed that one from NZ here for that money, and it had everything done wiht all new parts etc and a great paint job to boot.

Call me a 'doubting Thomas' but I still call bullshit. If it sold in Brissy, Sydney, Melbourne or somewhere heavily populated I would have thought 'wood duck' - someone with too much money and not enough sense been 'sucked in' for one reason or another.

IIRC this thing sold in Townsville - the chances of getting a wood duck (and by this degree - the bike is 2-3 times overvalued) has got to be remote in the extreme.

If it has been 'sold' lets see if he gets 'the money in the bank'. (Ask your accounts section at work - a sale ain't a sale until the money is in the bank and cleared ). Any one prepared to bet that it will reappear with some sorry story about 'slack stupid buyer not going through with the sale'?

For that sort of money I would expect pristine and NOS with 1klm on the clock - and even then been slow to sell - getting the right person with the money and with the desire - like rocking horse poo .

Yeah, if I was to believe it I should detail mine up and sell it for similar. Mine was a resto and it's not perfectly NOS. Looks right but it's got RZ forks and mudguard - hard to pick but far better dampening and handling. A few other things like the twin horns are not under the h/lights - I don't like the look - hey, it's my bike, my resto, okay . Needs OEM mirrors and grips - and maybe OEM NOS exhausts - or me cutting and shutting a couple of damaged ones and powder coating them temp proof satin black.

Dunno just don't understand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


If I had a choice to buy a stockie or a modified,I would go for the modified anyday.

I used to be staunch Oem for years didn't believe in modifing .................................until I bolted my first set of chambers up couldn't believe the difference.

I deffo think people get scared away from modded bikes, their Is no way a modded Lc would of got that.

OEM is for the 'investment' collector.

Mods and customising, especially for paintwork, is very personalised - unless exceptional in the quality and appearance, thus desirability, it generally doesn't get the money back.
