Don’t sell yourself short. I think it would have to be only $78,000.That’s a ton! My bike would bring that kind of money if I autographed it………and put $79,000 in the saddlebags.

$25,000,000 wouldn't buy the Porsche 917K at the Kissimmee auction last month. Steve McQueen, Brian Redman and Jerry Seinfeld were names attached to it.I like watching Mecum actions on TV and have been to three in person.
I'll never understand paying a premium price for a vehicle because a famous person had owned it.
I hope the GS buyer really is a fan and a rider, and didn't just buy it because it might increase in value.
Maybe he'll donate it to the MOA or AMA museum...?
Older thread-Forgive my ignorance but I would like to know. Who is or was Neil Pert? Is that a Whizzy Brake 05 GS?
