Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread
- Thread starter killerkeith
- Start date
Besides that one in hamilton that sat for two-three years (including up to June 2022) at around 13000CAD..........
I think what happens is when a dealer picks it up or when it goes on BAT with the asking price of 25k, a certain type of person thinks it is automatically worth that. Edit, like the high asking price creates the value, rather than the other way around. Is what it is I suppose. I kind of feel sorry for that hamilton seller now.

There is NO WAY a sport classic is listing on BAT with a $25000 reserve. BAT would not even entertain THAT silly idea. Having sold bikes on BAT my guess is they would take a reserve of $4000-5000... if that.
Dealers can offer it at $25000... if they want, it's a free market. It won't sell, but they can offer it

Sorry, when i said "asking price" i was thinking "selling price"

What is nuts about that sale, is right around that same time similar sportclassics were on BAT and sold for half that price! Is the 'one owner' really bringing that much more in??? Skeptical. Could have just been a good day for that seller. The right buyer was in a bidding mood
We will see what happens with this one. Auction ends in 1.5 hrs at time of posting.Sorry, when i said "asking price" i was thinking "selling price"

Cough. I don't see 14K difference between the two (although I am not Ducatisti so maybe I am not seeing something important).We will see what happens with this one. Auction ends in 1.5 hrs at time of posting.

...and another thing about BAT.
We're in Canada and 99.9% of bidders on BAT are American and are afraid of the border and all that it it entails.
... the border actually adds two forms to fill out and a couple of hundred for a customs broker... but the average bidder doesn't know that... and they don't know that if you ship the bike as freight, it is cheaper to ship out of Toronto or Montreal to almost anywhere in the states, than to ship it the same distance within the US. There are lots of trucks that haul fruit up from Florida or California, that usually will take ANY southbound load to help pay for fuel on the way down.... but you NEED a good broker
And BAT wants ORIGINAL bikes and cars.

Hasn't had a bid since the 5th. I bet it doesn't go much higher.

Oh yeah, best deal I've ever seen on BAT, was for an old Volvo in Vancouver. It was like an early 90's sedan (sadly, not a wagon), (5 speed turbo model) all professionally rebuilt to highest standards. And was absolutely mint. Would have been a killer DD. I didn't bother bidding, but when I checked the sale price it was like 2500USD! and the guy didn't have a reserve! He probably had 25000cad into it.
Moral of the story, if you see anything on BAT in Canada without a reserve, keep a close eye.

Not to continue any argument, I really don't have a dog in this hunt, but it looks like GP just sold a SC for what they report as $25k. Sure, maybe the buyer negotiated $1-2k of that price.
They're cool bikes, but I remember at the time they were laughed at and failed to sell due to their "retro" styling. Just reiterating that I think the market is crazy. I wouldn't pay that much for one these days.

the ones that are going for $10-12000 are sport 1000's, the yellow one is a sport classic mono posto, much rarer and sought after in that colour. A friend sold his just before the pandemic for $22000.

I wouldn't pay that much more either, but I'm also not a SC collector. You have to admit there's a humungous difference between the two. The first one looks showroom new, whereas the second one looks well ridden (and poorly maintained). I mean, why wouldn't they clean it up (if possible) before posting, or at least change the chain? That badly rusted chain is a huge red flag right there. And I do believe that when you're in the market for a 100% original, an original owner makes a huge difference if they can provide the sales invoice.

Yes, it’s a mono posto, single rear shock. From my understanding all sport classics are sport 1000’s but not all sport 1000’s are sport classics. Kindve like a thruxton is a bonnevilleNo Reserve: 2006 Ducati SportClassic Sport 1000

Either way a Sport/SC 1000 is a desired bike especially these days that retro's are in vogue.
There isn't a Monster that's collectable whether it be a S4R or whatever. Actually I often see S4R owners trying to sell them for big money saying they are rare but they just sit unsold.
