Default Expensive Breakout!!!!!

This new bike has been on EBay for months now. Priced at a shade under £23,000 ($lots) I can't see how they've arrived at this figure. Ok so the numerous Roland Sands parts, Bassini pipes, air cleaner, Daymaker add value, but it has stock wheels, stock euro licence plate mount and not a lot else. So over 8k more than base price is this going to sell? Hmmm

It's still on - and will be on for ever! It will never sell in a million years!

Surely they should add a set of the black CVO wheels for that price!

Some people mistakenly believe that because they spent money on accessories, they should be able to recover that cost. It's rarely true. Some even believe that these accessories make a bike worth more than the sum of the parts.

I prefer to purchase a stock bike someone else's accessory part selections Never match my own.

This is a main dealer modded bike with 0 miles. Perhaps you get a Street 750 thrown in with it for when it's raining!!!

As its a main dealer they may get some "mug" to buy it on one of those pcp finance things but whoever would have to be pretty stupid at that price !

Been there before with modding a dyna, my advice for what it's worth to anyone thinking of modding their ride is to keep all the take off parts & when they come to sell, return it back to stock as you'll never get your money back otherwise.

The price for most bike includes "sentimental" value and labor for mods added.

Agreed on taking all the bits off prior to selling.
It's the only way!!
