I must be missing something too.  Who in their right mind would pay 6k for that little thing?  Must be some serious collectors of those.

At least the Bultaco is a great looking bike. The Honda looks like something my friends and I built when we were ten.

Yes, serious collectors.  My former boss just sold a '62 Honda 125(forget exact model) for $15k.

And to think, I work with guys that can't make their house payment and put gas in their car from the same paycheck.

Yeah for real, I mean open a soup kitchen with that money instead of buying something that will sit in your basement next to your bar for novelty value. Rich people need mandatory classes for staying sane!

The most expensive bike I've ever owned was an '83 Yamaha Venture 1200. $2,000

That was about $800 too much.

For the $21K buy it now price, it should come with it's own politcian! (I've heard you can buy one for that kind of money!)
