these bikes are a mixed bag (take that gix f/e for example) and take real commitment from owners both in riding skill and finances. it can be way easy to double the purchase price just to tune or get vintage parts. blow the motor or trans and you're in a world of hurt.
if you want sorted & turnkey gamma expect to pay big bucks. I had one seller asking $15k but don't doubt it was worth the money. is this the height of the bubble for this market or just the first plateau? How much more are enthusiasts or collectors willing to pay? I'll always be a fan of 2 strokers though.
good luck to those similiarly afflicted
