Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

I’m really not sure what to think here…

That one has been up for sale for several years now.
Strangely, nobody seems to want it. Go figure.
 
LOL! I'll have to remember to use that line next time - "The rust is intentional."

Google rat rods

I've had 7 of those over the years... only 1 left. (It's for sale)

I have always viewed them as one of the most logical street bikes ever made. GREAT handling frame with a docile, tame, long legged V twin motor. Inspires rider confidence, unlike super sports that SCARE riders.
I describe them as a bike with a Grand Prix handling with a moped motor... and typical of Honda: as exhilarating as a mayonnaise sandwich, on white bread bread, with the crust trimmed off and a glass of milk
 
Yup. If that's loaded, it's about $220k new before luxury tax, HST, etc. so the seller probably paid about $275 and is looking to make 25k. Buyer will have to pay another 13% on top of the $300k, or $65k over ordering one new just for being impatient. If there are buyers out there willing to do so, I should just order one myself and do what they're doing.

Yeah....I probably wouldn't. Just in case.

I have a friend who speculates on cars. Orders them new and flips them shortly after delivery. Last time I saw him he was driving his personal 911 GT3, and the dealership offered him $30k over what he paid during delivery because they had another customer who wanted it and "couldn't" wait.

Apparently this is not uncommon for high end sports cars. I talked to a guy who owns a recent model Corvette and he said a similar offer was made to him.

30k to the owner, and another commission to the salesman. It’s a whole network of buyers that will pay extra for the latest and greatest.

Buddy put down 70k cash for a CHANCE to buy a new GT3RS (?) or something Porsche….he was denied because he didn’t buy enough cars from the dealer so they gave him his money back.

Yeah, I just heard something similar from another friend. Apparently they think they're Ferrari now, and they can deny sales unless you already own one. Well chicken and egg...

He also said they make you sign something that says you have to give them first right of refusal when you decide to sell. As if I needed anything else to convince me never to buy a Porsche, this was the last straw.

That's also not uncommon for very desirable cars. Or you promise not to sell it within x years. Along with Ferrari, makers like Mercedes, Aston Martin, and even Chevy and Ford, among others, have done that for certain models.

If you do sell it before the specified time, the maker blackballs you from accessing any more of their desirable models.
