It's a cool bike and I would love to have it but.... I think he might be a bit proud on that price.
But I don't really know the European market..
Any comments?

+1
but if I could have a choice...I'd take Georges Jobe's 86 SR, or the 84 SR...love the look of em...

Jobes 86...



the 84 SR...

Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ

mike thats one of the 3 last open class prototype-works-bikes and simply unpayable  :wink: ...many special-handmade parts like the frame tank and so on.
 4gear-trans-box and a very rideable power-delivery .hear the amazing engine sound in the video.

 unfortunately this bike never won the world championchip-title that it was made for.

It depends what the cost to build. Honda works cr250 back in 99 cost nearly $400,000.00 EACH http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg119/cr500-af/kx%20500%20team%20green/SAM_0509crinfo.jpg

Not  fan of the look of the 91sr, but i would fancy the motor even though they used to break the odd conrod

I once heard my buddy Bill ask Danny Hamel after a race....
"How can someone who looks like a high school band tuba player go so d**n fast on a bike?!"
