Nice But Pricey

Both stunning but steep asking price IMO

A childish part of me is thinking, wouldn't it be a laugh to buy the one that's never been started to roll it out into the carpark, fire it up, and do a massive burn out (giggle)

You would knock £20k off the value instantly if you did. I don't really get why these zero and very low miles bikes are worth so much cash as you can't use them without massively devaluing them.

Wouldn't there be more fun in restoring one to as new condition? Probably cost less too.

They can ask what they like, but they're still for sale aren't they?

Bikes are not art to be looked at, especially not an SP. They can only really be appreciated flat stick in the middle of a bend imho.

Yeah....I can see that they're "built to be ridden" or whatever....but I generally figure if someone is smart enough to make a lot of money, then they're smart enough to spend it....or not, as the case may be.
Not the worst character defect to have, I reckon.
