Saw an ad for one yesterday ...$10999...!!!!And a mate has bought a different one for around $6000. Here I am thinking "I would love one but..." and here is the "but"...I can buy a brand new motorbike for $8000 actually the two I was looking at were a Sol Apollo at $7990 and the other a Soco TC Maxx.....The Apollo is brand new copy of the Honda GB400 and the Soco is fully electric and NOT a scooter...(100km+ speed and range about 120km?) With E bikes costing more than this I think they will remain too pricy for what I want to do with them...

I ended up buying a Suzuki gsx600 Katana instead - deal too good to say no to.

I had two GB400's back in the late '80's. The first was a standard TT without the fairing and the second was a TT MK2 with fairing and lobster back single seat. Really neat wee bikes, great fun to throw around. I saw one with a nicely made full lower fairing added on that I think had been done by someone in the Tron. It had covered the braided oil lines and the headers though which kind of spoilt the classic TT looks a bit I thought.
