Forty-Freaking-Thousand dollars?!?!? Holy Crap!

It IS an extremely low-mileage example, but wowzer!

Is it an extremely low mileage bike? I have my doubts. Any time I see a low mileage speedo that doesn't line up it's numbers perfectly straight, and this doesn't, I doubt it's true. Is that a scrape on left silencer? Has it been down? A reflection wouldn't look the same from 3 different angles. 3 holes on rear fender? Stainless front brake lines. Master cover and top triple show signs of age/servicing. Rusty kickstart shaft and rear manifold.

Under 4000 km on a 35 year old bike? My new 1983 RZ350 had 22000 on it within 6 months and looked brand new. I would like to see the UVIP on this one, and the VIN. It should be VIN # under 165 if it's a true Dunlop, and colour shows on our ownership here, as all units under #165 were both colours here. How many owners? Probably is a Dunlop, but needs to be verified with UVIP.


I don't believe it's an under 4000 km bike. Just saying buyer beware! At $40000 CAD it should be a PERFECT example.

When I saw the listing I had similar thoughts Dan.

Look at this one. The speedo #'s are almost perfectly straight in line. S/N 316. Poor quality photo's but this could be low KM but still very low for the year. Some guys used to just disconnect the speedo and put the miles on, or replace it with a very nice low km spare!
