wow.. I guess if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it ? LOL

 

I definitely cannot afford it, but I'm curious as to how much its worth. Look great.

 

No longer for sale...
Its a keeper!

 

since it isn't for sale ,what is it worth?

 

Take a look at this Auction listing from the UK.
http://www.motorbase.com/auctionlot/by-id/203716655/

So you can extrapolate with the spares, the provenance, history & documentation...

But you know what, after not only rebuilding it, but also sourcing the right parts, and if nothing was available, actually reproduced parts myself, and all the other efforts in this bike, I decided I can't let it go...

Cheers
Fred

 

Beautiful bike!

 

Nice ! A great looking example of a great Honda !

 

i fully understand the desire to hang onto it...
so it's a bike in the neighborhood of appx. $25,000 dollars
