I expect the bidder still had his gloves on!

130K bucks? Yowsers!

It can't be worth more than $120K. I think I saw some minor pitting on the R69S emblem on the rear fender. Plus I didn't see a single photo of the area under the seat. There could easily be a blemish there too.

Looking at it another way, for $130K a guy could buy 4 or 5 really nice Harleys!

I wonder if that is a ButterHead?

It's a cool enough looking bike, that's for sure. Can't see why it would go for that much money. I don't know my vintage bikes but I am under the impression that that kind of money would be reserved for a very rare model in absolutely, ridiculously stringent stock condition. I already said I don't know my vintage bikes, but those rims do not look like originals to me. Kind of hot rod rims on a bike that's otherwise stock.

I like the look of Suki's bike much better. Rob, we need your skills here. I predict you can post a pic of Suki on her bike. I hope you can, it would make this thread so much better. I wonder if she still has the bike?

Well, I was just about to post this up here...

So what's the deal? Is his an uber-rare 69S?

I did email the seller (Maxbmw) & the reply indicated that a) yes, the sale was in US dollars & b) it IS sold!

What am I,we, missing?

Suki:

See? Isn't that bike much more appealing? I mean, even without Suki.

My first impression was that the buyer was simply an idiot. After seeing the bidding history, it's obvious that there was something else going on here. If you had one in as new condition with 100 miles on it, it wouldn't go for $120k. A lot, but not that much.

Looking at the pictures, it's not even a top resto. The finish on the engine cases is all shiny, and, while the paint and body is gorgeous, there's occasional pieces that are not in good shape: like the corroded logo on the rear fender.

And the original Cadmium fasteners have been replaced with stainless - even though (they say) the fasteners came from Mobile Tradition. Do the Cadmium loose their ability to fend off corrosion after a while?
