Chinese fairings and wants 8k for it. No offence if the seller is on here, just my opinion!

This 3xv:

Prices are  nuts .
But I'm not sure the bikes with the big prices are selling .

[Steveog]

We paid $10,800USD for a 3xv1 in early 2018. Some of that went to a proper title and proof of ownership, but....Since, then we've spent another $6,000USD to make it reliable and add just bit of power. That total would buy a brand new R-1 with full warranty and all the electronic rider aids. Seems we're all a bit afflicted with 2T Derangement Syndrome. (2TDS)

Vinny. I'm betting someone will buy the 3xv SP. Prices just keep going up. "Buy now and Save, Save, Save."

The 3ma was a full rebuild thread on here , ( not me )

[SeaR1ck]

Don't look at 500's  eventually they will price themselves out of the niche market these bikes are and younger generations won't hold them in such regard.

Buy one in Japan for a fair price and then do a total rebuild yourself if your looking for a keeper.
Every stroker I have bought has or will need a rebuild at some point before being used as intended.
We all know a proper rebuild can mean a lot of expensive/rare parts if done right.....there are worse ways to spend $$$

They will never be as cheap as they were yesterday....

[ybk]

Those are rough prices.

Chubba is right, the 3MA has a thread here.

3XV guy: "The description is short because anyone who has knowledge of this bike will contact me with the appropriate questions" , yeah OK I'll get right on that.

For that price Ill take the new R1

Yes. Logic would dictate a new R-1 to be a better “deal”. But, there’s few things more rewarding than building up your own 3xv and running down a Liter bike in the twisties.

Only one who understands 2TSD would understand.

Getting blow away in a straight section requires almost no skill. Give me the precision of a 3xv anytime.

Steve

I’ve owned two R-1’s.

[rvt2002]

I consider my 2ts as money pit  . The only joy is tinkering/modifying it and riding it if goes well but if its my only bike i would just go for a 4 stroke and enjoy riding it.

Iv recently bought a tz 4dp  as a investment so on that basis  I hope that prices continue to rise 😜.
It is a pity thou that a nice 250 is now out of reach for most .

[SeaR1ck]

I've been noticing lately there's been a few bikes recently on Ebay state side and even some relisted bikes on raresportbikesforsale.com. that did not sale in the 10k - 12k usd ranges. One was a nice vfr400 a vj22 a vj23 a mc28.

Before they used to be gone before it was even posted but now that the avg price has hit 10k. They are taking much longer to sale now.

[tasswipe]

I sold three factory luckystrike Vj23 in 2017/18 for £38k plus a td 23 to phil for £6.5.
Also sold £15 k worth of spares.
Prices have gone nuts
