I think so Ash. I'm sure I saw the buyers premium was 18%.

It's still a lot of money for a bike that can never be ridden. Without premium, that's only 40k less than the Brighton Bike which is a rider.
Edit..... 40k more, not less 🙄🙄🙄

Evidently the final price includes 10 % fees ...so indicates that someone present in the auction room bought it as telephone/net bidders pay 12%  ...not sure how correct this is someone on FB told me.

I watched it and also thought it would make more. Saw a Sandcast that I think was only bid up to $15/$16k earlier that did not sell.
