Item 265298935703
Looks complete and nice, seems 2k is the current asking price for these now, but this one at least looks ok.

Photos indicate new Reed rubbers needed, text suggest recommissioning needed. Seller looks familiar.

As LCs now cost 10 times what they did in the mid 80s I suppose an engine should cost 10 times what it did in the 80s.

Dunno why you keep being suprised how much things are asked for here, its been like this for a while, as long as there is a market, and obviously there is, then that's the way it is. |

I've almost finished rebuilding my lc250 engine and I'm wondering wether it's worth me finishing the bike rebuild. And instead jump on the RD deep pockets band wagon and sell the parts off individually I might get more than a complete bike 😳.

Most of us here are building not stripping bikes. |

Have heard rumors that there is something called Air freight. Daily departures ... from Here to London.
Houses in Bordeaux are refreshingly affordable, at least they were when there for relatives, a ~ month or 2 prior to the China Virus debacle.
Fubars: I'd Consider parting out your bits. Fair chance the bubble may not expand further.. before it pops.
The Greater Fool theory/market has traditionally proven to be Finite.
Take your ill gotten profits and potentially go wild with; wine, wimmin and song. Or? Rebuy all the bits in the aftermath.
In the 20's a reporter asked John D Rockefeller the secret to his unprecedented financial success.
The considered reply was: I always sold too early :-)

Sometimes people talk too much without saying a lot.
Ahh brevity.🤐
