it is stunning though......if you wanted a completely sorted ps this would be it,though the price is a bit salty.
I agree it's a great looking bike , but is it really worth 55k$? I don't think so. ( I stand to be corrected!)
I'd say if somebody is prepared to pay it then it's worth it to them. I wouldn't, I must say, because a, I don't have the money!!!!, and b, don't really like the bike! However if I get the £55,000,000 tonight I'd spend £100k on a NR750, £50k on a Desmodecci.... Edited to say - actually I'll need two nr750s and Desmos. One of each (preferably new and unregistered) to look at in the living room of the huge house I'd be living in, and one of each to cane round a track and use on the road!
To be honest, if I had the money I could EASILY fill a ten bike garage. Desmo, NR750, RC30 (and 45 most likely), 916, Yam' YZF750, RGV250, RD500, YB100 and I'd have my zzr1100 restored. Bugger. That's eleven already and I've just named off the top of my head!
