That is about 21K US by my calculations...
Seems a fair price for what it is...
Just my opinion...
Best,

A big pile of money... but by my estimation, worth every cent.
14080= 21,159.59 USD
Plus Buyer premium of 10%
1408=2115.25 USD
For a total of 23274.84 USD
I guess the question becomes, where would you ever find anything like that again? In the last ten years, I have seen two new A model Re5's. This one and another... I unboxed one, and serviced it for a member of the Forum...
I have one M model that is new in the museum... I would not sell for that price, as when it is gone... that's it.
Just my 2 cents.
Best,

Crazy Kiwi here, yep done about 300 miles, it took courage to move the bike of the 00000 reading but WT_ i will live once. and i would really deteriorate sitting in the crate , and i ride it a short distance every now and then.. it'll have a 1000 miles on in say 5 to 10 years .. its still unique.. its mint. its out of a crate. there arent too many like that

yes its a shame bikes like this will proberly never be riden ,but they do make a good source of reference when restoring overs . Iam lucky to have bought a unriden never started re5m when the bikes where unfashionable and to have one to ride and one on the bench to tinker with that might see tarmac one day .When prices start getting like this it does take the fun out of messing with the machines in case you devalue them . I blame it all on ebay its made it to easy for everyone to find bits rather then spend days roaming round auto jumbles and breakers shops and hackling.
