$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..........

Much nicer looking than 99% of the chop job cafe racers out there, but still, WAAAAY too much money for what it is.  That would be too much money for an original R90S, which I would jump on way before someone's cafe project.

Nicely done but absurd asking price.

If it's a truly 1st cabin build, he's probably trying to break even. LOL

No doubt some hipster will buy it, ride it for six months, then park it and buy whatever next weeks fashion accessory is.   [smiley=thud.gif]
