From the listing:

Has been in storage since 2009
Has debris inside the gas tank
Old gas
GCSurplus does not advise attempting to start
Not running
Some scuffs and stone chips
Some rust and dents
Dead battery
This vehicle is sold used without mechanical inspection and may require other unknown repairs

Maybe they punched in an extra zero by accident

Was anybody really expecting intelligent pricing from the Government of Canada?

Almost ****** myself LOL. Check out the car trucks pricing. Problem is they sell.

Blue plate. Should be gold plate for that price.

it is Blue and Gold .... obviously worth it ... LOL

The Harley is in the same general condition and they want 6000.
I think these guys just checked the "blue book" but looked under the good condition column instead of the POS column.

1988 Katana 600 Rebuilt only $7950

Ok, this guy seems to think his 1988 Katana with over 46,000km's is worth $7950!

I don't care what you added to it other than a wad of cash in the amount of $6500 makes it worth that

That's the problem...ppl pay for fancy paint jobs and other bits and expect that the item is worth what they put into it. A fancy paint job on a piece of crap is still a piece of crap.

Yup, people need to realize that modifying vehicles is not an investment (with few exceptions).

Did that guy ever choose a bad bike to "invest in" or what?

Unmolested, maybe $1,000 if lucky. Katana aged badly.

Offer him $795.

 

[DemonPig]

He'll probably think it's a typo and get all jiggy and excited.

The Katana is the Pontiac Grand Am of motorcycles

Can you imagine how much plastic cladding a Pontiac motorcycle would have?
