Did anybody see the ad in the Province? MH900e #1422 is for sale. The guy is asking $25,000 for it. If it hasn't been ridden, then that's not a bad price. It would make a great investment, after all, how many of you can put you mutual fund portfolios in the living room and drool all over them?

I didn't think they were that expensive. I would rather have two liter bikes for that price :eek

I'm not a big Duc fan, but the MH900e looks the biz to me. Beautiful, and that swingarm, babay!:eek
I don't think I'd be strong enough not to ride it and that would kill any investment potential.

This is it if I am not mistaken right ?

That's the one. They had one at RMS last summer and it looks better in the flesh.

Actually they still have one at RMS.. at least as of Thursday. Sitting right next to that shiny Ben Bostrom Race Rep. 998S.. now that's some coin..

As much as I hate Duc's, and think they're a bear to ride. The Bostrom rep looks the biz. Now that's a colour scheme! Some really nice trick bits on it too. How much they want for the Boz rep?

I just got an e-mail from the guy selling the MH900e. It's never been ridden, in fact it's still crated! Mmm, gotta try to raise $25,000. That bike will only appreciate in value...no?:confused

 

[Hu99]

Go for it man if you can come up with the coin, but I know two weeks after you get it if you get it you will be cruising around on it

I know, I know. That's part two of the story. Let me dream for a bit why don't you?

 

[Hu99]

Hows that for an straight line opening for you

Aarrgghh!! It's too easy....must resist....:tredmill

 

[Hu99]

the duc you traded in for the 9 is the same model as the one in the pic? kOOL:cool

i think i gotta check out the one at RMS and see what they look like in real life

WRONG!

Two more and you're outta here!

what's so special about that bike?

Take what Bruce said, and add the historical component of the legendary Mike Hailwood win at the Isle of Man, then consider it's basically the same bike, but with todays technology packed inside it. Then just when you think you could walk away from it. Take a close look at the frame, and linger a while on the swingarm. Oh, the swingarm! That, my friend , is art.
