I'd say that price might be a bit optimistic...But then I've been proved wrong before. It is a rare machine with the opportunities to buy one few and far between and the true collectors can get carried away when they feel they have to have something...
To me it's a fancy B31 (the bike which it was developed into after the war) and it feels much like one when you ride it...From that perspective it simply isn't different enough to warrant the price tag IMO. However, as a collectors machine and forgetting what it's actually like it has the credentials...
It will be interesting to see what it fetches ultimately....Ian
I must say that, I have had offers well in excess of the asking price multiple times in the past and in hindsight I should have sold it then.
It is a very rare bike and the opportunity and one of the few and far between.
Just yesterday I refused an offer of £18.5k, silly to turn it down? Maybe, Time will tell.
I will keep you all posted, and I have overtime in doing a diary speak of the bike and about the bike, which I will soon add on here which might make for interesting reading
