Is ebay an indication of bike prices or are they just taking the piss. What are the thoughts on it.

Depends on how you remember them I guess. If you are/have been use to riding a modern bike for X amount of years then one can be a bit of a culture shock when you get back on, weedy forks, not really that fast etc etc but I love mine, takes me back to being 19 again every time.

Hi Welcome to the forum What people ask on ebay is not necessarily what the bikes sell for. They are an expensive bike for what they are though - matching numbers, period correct Uk bikes command the highest prices, but even basket case projects fetch good money. It does seem that the meteoric price rises seen in recent years seem to have slowed a bit recently - good thing for buyers Good luck with the search - there are usually plenty for sale Dusty

Welcome... No matter what you have ridden in the meantime, an LC is not just a bike but a time machine. The experience was/is so unique that if you had one before you will get instant deja vous and flash backs ! In that respect grins are guaranteed.

LC does not get voted one of the best bikes of all time in several polls, for nothing.
Once tried never forgotten.

Nope they are crap, being honest they are slow, don't handle, small light they don't do 150mph, but but but when you sling your leg over and kick start them and they start to warm up suddenly you're 18 again so they are the first time machine. do it get one and enjoy it.

Welcome to the forum sundowner.
I also returned to two strokes after 30+ years of Jap 4s, British and Italian bikes, and now cannot get enough of them.
Enjoy the buzz and the big grins

An LC is worse than crack. Highly addictive and expensive.
Welcome in!

Lol, well put. I think that's it important to have had some sort of connection/history with these bikes back in the day, when you were becoming of age shall we say, that's when owning/riding one now comes into it's own, that's certainly why I've got one now, even after 30 years of owning/riding big four strokes. Let's face it, if you really wanted power/speed/handling and were concerned about 'bang for buck', you could get a much newer example of say an R6, ZX6 etc which would do a far better job as is than any LC.

I did LC for the first time just 8 months ago and now I’m hooked.
Barely heard it even run yet and I’ve got at all torn apart and spending massive amounts of money on it...
Be careful,kid.
