Post by: Warbucks on December 26, 2015, 04:27:21 PM: $20,606 AUD for an R/65? Tell him he's dreamin'! I could buy a Manx Norton and an AJS 350 for less than that.......or a fully restored 850 Norton Commando. For another $2,500 I could buy a Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica............or for $4,500 less, a brand new Triumph replica Classic..............or 5 Z-1R Kawasakis.......or..........
