				That is actually  little surprising that it finished at $21k US. There was an RD on fleabay recently that went for $27K aussie with 0KM on it, never started. Cant remember the model though.

				That has been advertised before, I would be taking a good look at the contents before I handed over any cash.

ohh I know its a nice desirable model, but 35k would buy you a lot of motorbikes back here...
 Yeh it would make you wonder what condition it would be in, even though it has been sitting in a box.

				would have had a good dose of assembly lube, but if you were buying it without having the shipping straps cut, I guess you would never know.

				best thing you can do if you want to keep something in storage fresh is buy a few large silica gel bags (just like the ones in the tortilla packets but bigger) and put them in the box! will never rust without any moisture present!

  Me too - for all sorts of reasons.
A gigantic waste of money IMO; but then I'm a rider, meddler and restorer  

  not a collector.

				Bloody oath, Ozzy... I'd rather buy something to rebuild and ride than a fucking box!

				Yeah, what DuncanB said.
Are we into motorcycles or bloody "antique collectibles"?
It's a bloody ornament.
Rather have something to ride
