Would you pay £115,000 for this?
Mon, 25 Oct 2010A HONDA NR750 - one of the most hi-tech production motorcycles ever built - is up for grabs on eBay with an asking price of £115,000.
The bike was produced in the early 1990s by Honda to showcase the company's engineering skills; a 32-valve, oval piston V4 engine, Carbon Fibre Composite bodywork and titanium-tinted screen are just some of the revolutionary features that warranted the bike's £37,000 original price tag.
This particular 1993 model has covered 5000 miles from new - quite a few for a bike with such a heady price tag. We'd have expected it to come with delivery mileage only.
It's being sold by an Essex-based dealer who describes the bike as 'IMMACULATE'. The machine also comes complete with 'A1 HON' registration number.
For the same money, prospective buyers could instead plump for a mint Ducati Desmosedici MotoGP replica and still pocket the remaining £80,000.
