WANT. Think an SRAD will be my next bike but probably not one at that price! Would love to bid if I had the money though.

Also, I never realised that the 750 SRAD had the same yoke and clock layout as a curvy.

There have been a few of these come up on Ebay recently. Why would someone keep a bike in a crate for 10+ years then think they can sell it for the same price??

It may have 0 miles on it but it's still an 11 year old bike.

I also think its criminal that they are encouraging someone to not use it and buy it as an investment.

Bikes should be ridden not stared at.

Agree with you there. Was just going to say that I can't believe someone would buy it to keep it in a crate.

Get a battery hooked up, fill her with oil and some unleaded and get her heart pumping as it was intended!

I remember reading a magazine article about Padgetts Suzuki, they also had bikes still in crates, never un boxed.

Some bikes don't sell, so stay crated up, although doesn't apply to this one
