it comes down to if you want to own an HPN engineered bike really. theres not loads around and all the ones ive seen are over £10k . I'm sure with a £12k in your hand more or less would buy it from the owner.
is any other old bike worth what people pay? people pay what i regard as alot of money for stuff id never pay for . ie £6k for an old sixties money bike or £10k for an early mark 1 le mans , triumph trident or rd500.
if i wanted one id pay £12k for something id always wanted theres not many options are there if it has to be an HPN bike . its easy to spend on any project and your £2500 airhead can set you back £5000 buy the time you go through it front to back, so i dont think its outrageous to spend money on a special.
certainly better value and loads cooler than a custom bike built by jesse james or the like
theres plenty of people who lose £12 grand in the first year on there new 5 series or whatever, you wouldnt loose a bean on an HPN.
have a look under the mattress ,im sure youve got that money lying around somewhere
