    You'd think for 90k they'd take some better photos!!

    Not my cup of tea but even at that price a sound investment...

    I still think they look fugly. I could do better than wasting that on that… I would give my bike to Arthur, and ask him to go to town on mods, and still have enough left over for another few bikes… hopefully anyway.

    Shame to buy a bike just for an investment, they should be bought to be ridden hard, but who ever buys those will wrap them safely and wait a few years to sell them again, such a waste :(
    but then who would now spend £100k on a 125bhp bike to ride, that weighs more than our fireblades?

    Newsflash - this is not a normal bike. It wasn't built to be ridden or to look nice.

    Its a motorcycle though, and last time I looked they are designed to be ridden :D
    It says used, it has lights and indicators and its best place is ridden imho.
    But hey, you can do what you like with your £85k lol

    But then I feel the same about old racing cars, bikes, classic cars, bike and vintage aircraft, let them do what they were designed to do, even if they only made 300 :D

    the same reason you buy any classic vehicle.why pay millions for a 50yr old ferrari when you can get a much quicker,better engineered one for a fraction of the price.?

    Like I said its a shame to buy a bike or a car and not drive or ride it? But to store it away as an investment :eek:

    At least the NR750 was rare, look at what they are asking for this!

    These were under £5k new in 1987 I had a D reg one just like this and paid £3400 for it in 1998.

    I don't think the passing of time has been kind to the looks of the NR750 in comparison to other bikes of the same era.

    I would have this made into a coffee table though (if I wasn't married of course;))
