A mate has just aquired this "Gallery condition" Paul Smart and it is for sale as we speek.

If only I didnt need a pillion seat.

$17,800(usd)?!??!?! That seems a little steep if you ask me.

I agree, seems a bit over-priced, even if pristine...

Tell us about it
At todays rates that bike brand new cost USD$20,900. We have always paid way more for our bikes here and there are very few of the Paul Smarts up for sale in Aus.

I would have thought that the "tears and angst" came after the "sodomy".

BTW, although I haven't been here long enough to exchange posts with you, Corks, I have enjoyed reading your posts and am sorry to see you heading "upstairs".

Mmm. I'd be to scared to ride her hard.

 

[Spooner]

He'd be luckly to get $17000 AU for it in todays market , give it 20 years and it'll be worth a bomb , but todays instant classics dont turn into tomorrows $$$ the next year , lol . But there is always the chance to catch a cashed up pinhead thats got his juices flowing then your in the cash

I believe that is Phil's bike from PAKBIKES. If it's not, there is a copycat in Salem.

I got mine this year, OTD including taxes, registration, shipping and prep (2 recall items) for $15,100 USD. This bike had zero miles on the clock and still in the crate, thus also pristine. I don't know if there is a difference in demand between one country and the next that would demand a higher price, making $17K in Australia as normal of price as $15K in the US. I could be a supply vs. demand thing. I saw one guy on eBay asking over $18K for a PS...I don't think it sold at that price though. Believe me, now that I have one, I wish they would go waaay up in price.

There's currently 9 of them on cycletrader.com .. two of them for under $10,000

9/500 .. hmm.
