      Hi Moto,
      if I won a huge lottery prize, say in the several million range, I wouldn't give a flying f**k how much I paid for something I wanted.
      Besides, $8,000 is less than the going price for a new Kawi Concours and ten years down the road which bike would be worth more?

        These bikes have reached the age that with care, if you keep them in good repair they won't continue to go down in value and will at worst retain value, and quite possibly increase in value over time due to vintage value and increasing rarity, especially as more of the breakers continue to part them out.

            Nice bike but I'm thinking more like $ 3100 ? But it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay. IMHO Terry

              Wow

              Just the new exhaust could probably be sold for $1000-1500.
