So do quite a number of other people .

The old Yamaha dealer here used to stash new bikes away . Saw a brand new RZ 500 being packed up to be sent to Hong Kong 2 yrs ago .
There is a brand new crated TZ 750 in a dealers shop in the UK

Will watch that one to see if it reaches the reserve.....I am thinking it will probably be $15k or even more ?

went for a ride with my mate and one of his friends from his work a few weeks back who was riding a rd 350,he was slow i mean painfully slow.nice bike though. it was like a 70's model i think

he would probably be slow on anything then (unless there was something wrong with the bike ?/) - my old 1975 RD350B would pull the ton easily when I was only 75kg ! it used to blow off heaps of bigger bikes off the mark and up to about 140. Then they would shit all over me ....those old air-cooled twins are still quick bikes today. Bung on a set of chambers, some big carbs and watch the cars vanish behind you !!

A good 350LC - a good one - will pull 180kmh with the right pilot.

Have a bloke in the VJMC here and he rides a kawasaki 250 triple i think it is(2 stroke)and fmd that thing goes,he is never at the back of the pack even amongst the bigger bikes.

Ok who bought it

Better yet, who the hell would set their highest bid at $27,877.77?????
Mind you, i'll bet that 77c is waht got them over the line no doubt, or maybe it's because of the currency exchange. Overseas buyer?

My 350LC did 180 with me on it. A mate reckoned he got 210 out of it- he was lighter than me. Fkn scary wobbles at that speed tho. Kinda miss it tho. My first roadbike.

Jesus H Christ almighty !! I cannot believe that anyone in their right mind would bid that much for an LC - that odd total is because some other numpty had bid $xxx77.77 on an earlier bid. So the bid increments go up to match that bid.....I think they go up by $50 (or is it $100) once you get over $20k ??

That price is bullshit. I bet that this bike gets re-listed because the seller never sees the money !!!

Time to get my LC looking beautiful and bung $15k on the shitbox !!!

That'll pay for your island hopping in Dubi

Pretty had to replicate "never started" and wtf are you going to do with the thing ??

mmmmm the BURJ I'm goin to the farken BURJ !!!

Billy - have a look at the bid history. Some newbie with 20 feedbacks has busted the auction from 18k straight to 26k without blinking an eye !! I wonder if this was a dodgy buyer set up to push the price through the roof ?

There is no way in hell that any LC will ever be worth 27k I don't give a fuck if it has been blessed by the Pope and ridden by fucken Buddah !

Don't you go fucking up my sweet deal with Nelso . He happens to think my LC is well worth the money Im asking as it has been ridden around Phillip Island by a motorcycling GOD .

now argue with that ya olkharn
