Overpriced 550?

Certainly this looks like a nice bike, but I am shocked at the value people place on these bikes.  Am I just crazy?

An un-restored bike that hasn't even been broken in yet would probably go for a fair amount of money. If that bike is truly what he says it is, it is damn near a museum piece.

In the condition it's in  I would have to say it is not overpriced.
