Come to Aussie land prices for older British bikes have gone through the roof and some prices they are asking for them is beyond the normal person reach, I stopped looking for cheap project bikes from ebay and any other bike advertisers now because of the high prices, but then are they getting the money for what they are asking for them.
A mate of mine sold his hardtail Triumph 650 bobber bitsa for $12000 and it was nothing special about it, the only good thing on it was the ex 650 police special motor and Joe Hunt Maggie, everything else was bits and pieces from stuff he had laying around with a raddle can paint job.
Some people just have to much money or they are just suckers for punishment or they been told by their other half to get rid of them so they put a high price on them hoping they don't sell, who knows.
I brought my new 1200 Thruxton cheaper than some of the prices for just a average Norton, even swap meets prices are becoming a joke here.

[QUOTE="ashman, post: 443194, member: 2326"] Come to Aussie land prices for older British bikes have gone through the roof and some prices they are asking for them is beyond the normal person reach, I stopped looking for cheap project bikes from ebay and any other bike advertisers now because of the high prices, but then are they getting the money for what they are asking for them. A mate of mine sold his hardtail Triumph 650 bobber bitsa for $12000 and it was nothing special about it, the only good thing on it was the ex 650 police special motor and Joe Hunt Maggie, everything else was bits and pieces from stuff he had laying around with a raddle can paint job.
