Gulp!
Moorey:
If he wants that for the 400 four I shudder to think what price he would ask for the CBX 1000.
Laverda Dave:
Well, when the parts and services bill reached £7k for the 400/4 I restored I gave up counting, why bother, it wasn't about the money but my love of the bike and restoring bikes is my hobby. I know I'd never get my money back but that's not what I'm in it for. I've only ever sold one bike I restored in 30 years and that was because the mortgage rate hit 15%!
I like the barn find 400 Julie. Nice wheels and what looks like a Peter Furlong rear chain case. They were ugly but kept the crud off the chain (and also allowed the the owner to forget to check the chain tension!). I think that bike is going to make some large cash.

Wise decision to stop counting, its our choice to have an expensive hobby 😀😀 That 400 I posted the link to has got the wrong front end on it but depending on what it goes for, its still got potential.
Oh, and no rear indicators.

When I raced bikes I soon came to the conclusion that if you knew how much it cost you wouldn’t do it, I’ve refused to keep tabs on costs ever since.
Athame57:
I don't know what to think. I paid £4,250 for mine from wesellclassicbikes.com and I'm sure I paid too much, I didn't seem to have shopped around hard enough nor was I savvy enough, I wasn't on here either. At the time a Kawasaki triple was on the cards too. I'd been away from biking for 28 years. I'm put a couple of grand and lots of work into mine and a year later she looks and goes a great deal better, but it's a good job I'm not interested in selling.
