Not so far as im aware
^ Norton, given your knowledge on rotary bikes, what would you expect the price of this bike to be (ish) as it is presently at £3500 with reserve not met?
Cheers,
Ian.
Hmm, i wonder how high the reserve is. I wouldnt have thought it would be very much higher than 3500, maybe 4500??, but sometimes people have high (possibly over-inflated) expectations of the value of things.
^ So, would these actually sell for £4500 normally then? Just wanted an idea of a realistic price ;-).
Do any ever come up as restoration projects for under a grand?

Yes, around £4000 to £4500 is about right.

Ive never seen an RE5 advertised that cheaply.
^ Flippin heck, that much!!!!! They couldn\'t have cost more than a couple of grand new - if that?
Cheers Norton.

£1200 i believe :D and that was considered to be expensive at the time!!
Only a day and a half to go !! get those bids in
thats got you wondering... is Norton on commission ?? :xconfused
Err........at this price someone IS on something that\'s 4 sure !!!! Ha, ha.
Cheers mate, hope u make bundles of cash ;-).
Somebody on here must have bundles of cash burning a hole in their pocket :evillaugh Sadly im not on commission.
Auction ends at five thirty pm
Somebody put a last minute bid for £4100 in but it still said \'Reserve not met\'.
Doesnt look as though we will see it at Rotorstock III then !!
^ Perhaps the present owner could bring it to RSIII if it doesn\'t sell? I\'ll send a message to that effect via eBay\'s \'Ask seller a question\'. I\'ll post if any response.
Ian.

Any luck Ian?
I contacted the seller and mentioned MRC. He did reply and told me that he\'s a member of some other rotary clubs and owned various rotaries over the years. Unfortunately I managed to delete his reply by accident.... doh!
