WTF..!!??  Seriously..98 thousand dollars..?  Beautiful Goldwing, for sure..but..

Even the mileage is higher on the speedo then he's listed in the auction..just being picky I guess    ???

The speedo is metric; those are kilometers, not miles. ;) I don't know what the deal on the price is, but since the seller is in the Netherlands, it may be a language/currency conversion issue?
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

I thought that on the money also, but it does state it is US dollars. 31 people watching to see if anyone is dumb enough to bite. I think if you take away the last  zero it's in the ballpark

Currency converter problem - in EUR a comma is placed where we place a decimal in USD - you're probably right Powderman.  Just put a comma where a dot oughta be.

Price seems high, but not unprecedented.  This fine '75 CB750F is for sale for $156,251 today.  Price will likely be higher tomorrow.

How much without that fugly fairing Greg? ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I'd probably have to tack a few bucks onto the price to take it off.  At any rate purchase price today is $156,356.  That's U.S. dollars by the way.  ;D

I have to assume that's a buck a mile.  Well played, sir.

You got it.  Buyers have to quit procrastinating, it ain't getting any cheaper.
