It's quite a 'niche/specialist/enthusiast's' thing though, so anyone contemplating it should know what it's worth.

We'll see I guess . . .

Well, it didn't sell.
Over 950 views, and 37 watchers though, so some interest.

Will probably be taking it to the Kempton Bike Jumble on the 20th . . .
http://www.kempton.co.uk/Event-calendar-details?EventID=EVENT-14042013130742

 . . . and the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics show at Stafford on the 18/19th Oct . . .

There was a top notch CR750 for sale on ebay last week, must have cost well north of 10k to build. it only got bid up to 2k, reserve not met of course, but that's the trouble with these sort of bikes, the market is minute, Im sure that you are doing the right thing taking it to shows, you just need a bit of luck that the right person is there, I went to the 1000 bikes show a couple of years ago with a millionaire mate of mine , he saw a TR750 replica that caught his eye, he kept offering the owner more and more money, it got up to 13+k and the owner still wouldn't sell (although he admitted my mate had offered him far more than the bike was worth) PS my mate won't be interested in your mates bike!  :)

The CR that didn't sell, in Ireland so that didn't help it I suppose.

That's a nice Bike isn't it!

Maybe it's location didn't help, it would add a fair chunk of cash to get it over to Mainland UK.

Fingers crossed for the Jumble and Show.

Stuart's (the owner of the 810) bought this little beauty now . . .



 :P
