the x-ray scans are well cool!
the lengths some people will go to just to maintain an items originality. I would still want to see inside the box though..............
still think this version of the MH900 is the rarest though...........
limited edition - #1 of 1 !

Yes i think i'd have to look in the box too, or x-ray it myself. Just my luck i'd find crate full of bricks after i bought it 
That is a very cool MH900-tesi thingy!

Heard a rumour once that a lot of the trick ally CNC machined bits on these bikes were actually done by Bimota...as Ducati wasnt equipped to take on such work to actually make a "special" not seen any factual findings of it though...........
Do like that Tesi MH thingie though.....where'd you dig out that piccie from Geekay? |

I like the front of the Katana but not the tail.
What would happen if you opened the NOx to find a Katana in it ... Could you base a philosophy on it ?

| Guess it will lose 20% of its value as soon as the crate is opened and another 15% after it has been ridden for a 1000 miles ! |

you're right that was the reason I didn't buy a 750 Kawasaki H2 1972 with real 845 kilometers from new as I knew one year after it got 5 or 6000 kilometers more and the value compare to the price offered to me will shut down.
The trouble with brand new bike on crate is if you want to keep the price you will pay it , you should keep it on a crate, and for myself I like to open the boxes of my toys and play with |
