The 1969 Honda 750 goes for about the same coin. I've followed several through the auction period and was amazed at the ending prices.

1969 750 I can see, maybe. But the 1969 Commando wasn't the first one......

Maybe you pay a premium for the hottie in the mini skirt!!! I especially like her in that last pic where he is sitting and she is standing or stepping or straddling or whatever...kinda racy for a flyer in "69 dont ya think?
