Just out of curiosity, what are DB5Rs going for on the used market? There don't seem to be any for sale over here in the colonies.

In euros...11k to 15k...depending on mileage...2 in italy, one in germany...and a few in japan...including a corse... Cheaper in europe than states...cheap to collect, easy to register... And importantly...no import or sales tax...

Works out around the same price due to the dollar being a bit week v the GBP.... Laughing ...But thats why its difficult to compare across continents with currency fluctuations......

I consider mine to be worth every penny that I paid for it, so I'm not complaining! The chance of finding a comparable moto of any make is virtually nill.
No more thread jack, back to your regularly scheduled thread!
