The RD stand had a some nicely modded bikes.. elsewhere prices being asked were amazing.. get the feeling the bubble wont last forever.. £7500 for a Z1 restoration project, £10,000 for a Kawa H1, £14,000 for a Honda CB750 / CR750 replica.. oh and £5600 for a new Norton 961 engine

Funny, I looked through the Bonham's results earlier and I was surprised how cheap most things actually sold for. People can ask what they like, auctions speak the truth about the market!

Did anything else get added to the stable?

Not from the auction

I know the bloke who builds up the engines for the CR750 reps, they get Hi Comp pistons, big bore kits, Magneto ignition, etc, whatever you want.. av price around £14,000 so I was told

[Merch131]

Says it all really.. though a nice GS1000ES was priced at £2750 which didn't so bad compared to the rest..

Couple of photos from my mate's resto while we are chatting CR750's.

Teenage kicks again eh...was it wheel to wheel racing all the way to the chippy?! How does it feel to be riding a 125 again? Are they both derestricted?

The LC and 996 had a sip of unleaded this evening before a mighty trip to Starbucks...was good to get out for an hour or so anyway.

Gary johnson was out testing at cadwell today. Man did he make the rest of the fast group seem slow. Really puts the speed of some of these guys into perspective when they pass fast guys like their stood still.
great to watch him jump the mountain aswell

it was a good laugh, we both spent most of the night complaining about our own bikes. I think they're both going to end up pretty nice.

Paul was revving his bike like a school kid when a Police van passed us going the other way, he said he wanted to be stopped and asked where his L plates were.

Your 350 looks lovely.

I can understand Pauls behaviour, I always end up doing wheelies around town on mine, something I wouldnt do on the bigger bike..would have been an interesting conversation if he had been stopped!

Ill keep an eye out for the updates on them both...
