If RG500s are your thing, this not quite standard Canadian spec bike just sold for $23,100 US. That is $30,965.56 Cdn today.

Sure is a lot but that was an exceptional example. I think it was Ken Smith’s.

Look closely and you'll see it wasn't exceptional, or correct. Still, it made the money.

Nah! They are meant to be ridden. Don't just sit and look at it. I just got a collector plate for my Wolf build, $88 for 7 months insurance so it's my daily rider now.
