Would this be about right?

I know we get screwed on everything out here but would this be around the figure

 

OK ... It know it looks like a new bike and all, but it's not THAT rare.

 

Typically 30 grand is about the going rate for a nice RC30.

 

+1 I've seen quite a few online going for about this price range. It's one of those bikes that someone really wanting one would paid big money for.

 

Too rich for my blood. If I was going to spend anywhere near that kind of coin, it would be on a brand new 8th gen and a complete new set of riding gear. Then I would have $10.k play money left over.

 

Well that's about the going rate converted to US that would be around $22,000

 

Yep, that looks to be pretty darn close to what they are fetching these days, some more , some maybe less, but not much. And yes they are getting a bit on the rare side. These aren't meant for daily driving, not even in the same context as what one would consider to use as a daily, maybe more like a nice day outing if, or a 3rd bike kinda thing. I have a friend here that has one, if it gets out once a year, that's a milestone moment.

 

It's not *that* expensive. Hell, a loaded Harley costs more than this and it's an archaic, useless, slow hunk of metal.

 

Wow .... I knew they were worth some coin, I didn't figure that high though.

I wonder what my VF1000FF will be worth once restored?

 

I saw the pics on the other thread and dude, that thing is sweet! That being said, I don't think you'll be approaching RC30 territory as far as value is concerned. Maybe in 15 years or so haha!

 

Haha, well, it's a bit of a different beast ... had it been a 1000R I suspect I might approach that territory since it would have gear driven cams and the updates.

 

At the price you stole it for, you stand to make money either way haha!

 

True enough - I plan on keeping her around for a few years anyways. IF / when I do sell her - I'll be sure that it goes to someone who will appreciate it for what it is, and take good care of it so it can live on.

 

Sell it to me. I will love that thing on the road year round.

 

Haha. Not ready to sell it any time in the foreseeable future.
