More than likely would've been a very good investment,unless of course they start a production line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they all sell out. Better investment than pensions and pathetic savings accounts. Only gotta look at how sky high prices are for limited production models are currently. Don't ride it and look at it as a long term investment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my biggest regrets was not going through on my commitment to buy a Norton Domiracer,would've been a cast iron investment but I chickened out when it came to the crunch. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bikes/motorcycles/norton/domiracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the more recent Ducati Superleggara models for example have rocketed in value. With the usual investment and savings schemes performing poorly people are putting their money in material assets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame for any would be purchasers but i'm not surprised as anything limited edition done by Brabus is bound to be in serious demand. I wonder what the cost was ?

The Yamaha R3, as good as it looks in that livery, is almost 100,000bt more than the price of a brand new one !!

I once spoke to a Thai guy that built extreme low rider scoots about this shop, he laughed and said they very expensive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi can (full system?), Paint, crash protection, grips etc. Mostly mods that don't add value, unlike stuff like luggage, brake upgrade etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxyhog Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 @galenkiaMaybe you know....in the early 90's I rented what I thought was a Honda V twin or maybe a V-4,it was the latest go faster Honda & I only had it for an hour or so to go blasting up Sukhumvit in Pattaya as fast as I could in jeans trainers & no helmet. Was great fun but extremely fucking dangerous😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
