    Like Cap would say … he just took a big hit from his pipe or is smoking a big slug. He’s not going to get what he wants …

    It's not gorgeous. Maybe at lunch I'll start the list of what is very wrong.

    But to start... where is the left muffler? So they just capped off the left collector exit and made it a "4 into 1"?

    This bike and seller just make me mad.

    It needs an HRC decal because of the HRC 4 into 1 exhaust.

    Yeah, no shit.

    The bike was crashed on it's left side and some genius thought, "Hey, I know..."

    Swear I've seen this bike before, that stupid fucking exhaust "mod" seems familiar. This is probably the idiot that bought the idiot's bike and is now gonna "score big" on the classic sport bike wave.

    Well I know it’s been meticulously taken care of. You can eat off it …
    I would ask $8500 to $9500.
    I know it’s high but there is countless hours of loving work put into it. If you want one like yours Cap then go ahead and spend the time, effort and parts hunting.
    Dog Out!

    That is GORGEOUS, Capt! :)

    Worth $10K, easily! Maybe more.....

    What could you get for her in today's market?

    I would say B.A.T. would give you the most exposure and highest bids.

    I'm going to say $5-6K minimum on B.A.T.

    Just depends on how bad someone wants it, right?

    I'm not sure what it's worth, but I love the tread pattern of the Metzeler Lasertec front tire. I had those prior to moving to the Bridgestones. It's such a neat pattern.

    I never really looked at the design on the Telefix fairing before. That's pretty awesome.
