Lets get a bet going to see how many more times this separately lists this year.
Also a " Price is Right " $ sale estimate.

everyone commit to put in $5 with your guess..

Winner to get collection prior to Christmas.

This bike has been listed many times before. It keeps moving around Southern California and the mileage has been dropping over time. It started with 17K miles, then went to 11K, then to 10.5K, now the ad claims 10K. :umm: (Odo shows 10,316)
And it's still being called a "Survivor"  :rolleyes:
A year ago it was $5900, now it's $10,750  :busey:

I just ran across this abomination & was about to chuck it on the forum when I found this thread! Can anyone in the area go and smack some sense into this moron? Why, for the love of CHRIST would anyone ruin a classic like that and then have the danglies to ask that much? It'll cost that much to fix it. Sorry, rant over.   :brownseat: :brownseat: :rant-1:

Not the first time I've seen an RD offered as an RD 135. Very popular in Brazil but I've never seen one here in the U.S.

Not sure why anyone would

The flipper is still trying to unload this after a couple years :rolleyes: A search for "RD400" brings up 4 different ads for the same bike.
