That seems pretty dear alright, even by Australian standards. Nice bike though.

Well used examples have been offered up for $7000 recently, and a couple in shops are about that.

Two have sold on ebay in the last month. One for $6500 and the second one for $4150

It's mildly stupid high, but, if it's Concours correct, it's not too terribly out of line. Few of us even have the desire to own a /5 that looks like it left the showroom floor yesterday, but there are those who will pay the big bucks for that.

I will confess to a desire for a R75/5 that looks like it might have had normal care for a couple years. That goes for around $5k in U.S. dollars.

It sold for $12,600

There was a guy on this island selling a flawless minty fresh R75/5 for $5500 years ago. I didn't have that much money to spend at the time, and he said, "You don't want this bike. You'd spend all your time just polishing it." I had to agree...

Wow - I could almost get back the money I have spent on my R90. Mine doesn't look so nice and it leaks oil like the Exxon Valdeze, but it runs pretty good. It is a little depressing how nice a five-year-old bike I could have for what I have spent on my 38 year old Airhead, but then I wouldn't have had all that fun working on it and learning how to adjust valves and the like. Who needs brakes and a little vibration keeps the kidneys working right.
