It looks like a really nice bike. 17K is a bit strong though.  ::)

Looks like a bunch on Wayne's reproduction parts on it.  I should go look at it and bring my bike and ask him if he wants to buy mine for the bargain price of $10,000!  LOL

It's a dealer of high end cars.  Some rich guy will probably see it in the dealership and just buy it to have it as a conversation piece.

Here is their current inventory.

That bike sold for $6000 at a Barett's auction. The man who purchased it lives in Florida and bought more than that one bike during the auction. He in turn then shipped the bike to that dealer to sell for him. If you look at their website they have many desirable vehicles for sale, mostly cars. Their listing price is not firm. They are willing to take any offer to the owner (not sure what he would accept, but anything over his purchase price would be profit).
