I don't think so?

OK here for sale in NZ is according to the blurb a Royal Enfield, but to me it looks suspiciously like a Yamaha XV or VX, anyone else want to hazard a guess?

No no no, your all wrong.  It's a Bultaco that didn't make it into production.

That starting bid converts to $6300 USD!  Is that the going rate in NZ for a 14 year old bike that's not currently running and has some cosmetic issues, or is this guy as far off on the value as he is on the make?

Just got an email from the guy, he is selling two bikes and got the photos mixed up, easy to do I guess when you don't know a Royal Enfield from a Yamaha. ;)
