$48,000?

Umm, yeah ok :roll:.

I especially like this bit:
The A1SS has a speedo reading of 4,119 miles and is pretty well unmolested with the exception of a new paint job and new seat. The heat shields are not original and are hand made.
Doesn't sound that unmolested.

I suppose you could say they were cute though :).

The A1r is worth a fortune on its own . Would love one . Rotary disc valve twin that would really hammer .
To get them and then get them to the condition they are in , $48,000 is probably good value .
Nice find Macca

I think 48 large is pushing the envelope - an A1R is worth a shitload of money on its own, there is no doubt about that. These are really rare, and one of the best period race-bikes made during that period. This bike alone could pull between 15k and 20k, no question

The other 2 are worth a fair chunk of coin - but not 14k each. That is way overpriced. Between 8 and 10 would be top dollar on a really good day.

I think the seller would be far better off selling each bike individually.......

Kawasaki also did a 350 version of this engine configuration - would love one of these in the 4th for a special project.....;)

wish I had stumped up the coin for a heap of these motors up in Qld a few years ago.....a bloke up there ran a joint called 'Parts from the Past' - he had a shed full of old kwakka 2-stroke stuff !!!
