Is this price reflective of the market? Good looking bike, but WAAAYYY out of my budget:

WOW, I had no idea 750ss's were 6 figure bikes.
Raux....curious why they have a 100K bike sitting on a harbor freight stand in that pic. Means it's good enough for my s4rt I guess [laugh]

from that posting... pictures of the bikes he's going to sell later at the end. and they look awesome.
I missed getting one in the early 80s by one phone call! [bang] Back then I used to belong to the Ducati International Owners Club (DIOC was based somewhere in Florida) and the guy that ran it probably used some of the first desk top publishing to send out newletters... no internet back then, Gore hadn't invented it. [laugh] As soon as I got the newsletters I always went straight for the classifieds and there it was... 1974 low milage 750SS in Arkansas and I live in Texas. I called the guy instantly only to find out someone must have opened their newsletter moments before I opened mine and that guy had already cut the deal, sight unseen. It's probably the one on ebay right now for $95K!! [bang] [bang] [laugh] Oh well...
Auction just ended... $95,250 and the reserve was NOT met?!?! :o
Price for one in similar condition in 2008 was $117,000

mate of mine sold one here in oz for $120,000 2-3 years ago... they go for about 150,000 here now!
When I bought the monster 16 years ago there was a rebuilt green frame for sale in one of the shops for 18,000... I paid 14,500 for the monster... Think I made the right decision?

I've got a friend who bought one new in 74 and still has it.
Worth almost as much as his house now.

Wonder if it'll start...?
Fantastic condition, except for scuff, missing mirror......(piston, flywheel [evil])
