A bespoke build is worth what the buyer is willing to pay. If you love a harris it could be worth 4k to you or 10k to you its a very muddy subject.

Might have been this one, was it in Crew by chance?
Just waiting for import approval, quite happy with it.
I might have paid too much but wanted it :shock:
Just one more to go and that's me done :wink:

What's money, the amount of times I have missed out on bikes of my dreams because they have been 1-2k over priced and now when I am looking at the same bikes they are 6-7k over priced. :oops: just do it if you can you don't know what's round the corner.

Exactly, just bought a GPz750 Turbo at the weekend, didn't go out to buy a bike it just happened!

Just waiting for import approval and then have to send some money to the UK!

Then wait for a container to be filled!

That was my mate Rob Atkinsons old bike. I remember him slapping it on the Dyno at Demon Tweeks open day a few years back and made a very respectable output!
