Going to need a bunch of work and some sympathetic restoration if you want to use it and have people say it looks new, which would ruin the fact its not been ridden etc.
The problem with new stuff like this is that its value is in how it is, not for being a bike.

This type of bike at that type of price just makes me yawn …
Anyway, surely 83 schemes were three stripe… two stripe Mars bar is an 82 scheme.

One of the old padgetts bikes that were selling for what £4K 10 years ago, then I think they sold the last of them at about £6-7k?
As others say someone might see the value in it, I don’t at that price. What do you do with it? Use it the value plummets as it’s unique status disappears. Keep it for display? Other than you knowing it’s zero miles, why not just get a nicely restored one? Nope don’t get it.

It's a funny one 🤔
As said its not in 83 colours, would be interesting to see the start of the vin number to see production year
You would have thought all the unsold ones would be 3 stripe
All the gadgets bikes I've seen were white as well
Also we know they weren't stored well and needed restored as soon as they came out the crate
May explain why bits of this bike look immaculate but others look tatty

It's "new", but the screw heads show it's been taken apart at some point. For that money I'd want one that was still in the crate.

I don’t get bikes like this, but then I’m not a serious collector. If you wanted to ride it and show it off it would need an engine strip and refurb. Same with brakes I imagine? Then after the first outing it would have maybe halved in value. Very small market for this one me thinks?
Plus it’s looking a bit tatty in places. Would you leave that or restore? Double edged sword.

Ive seen a few new bikes for sale last one was a NSR125 rust and fusty alloy, really needed the frame re doing and engine painting and alloy polishing etc but then its not nos out the crate . He was wanting a fortune for it like it was . If your asking top money for a NOS bike it needs to be almost as new needing almost nothing doing to it as a display bike . whats the point in a new but tatty bike no one wants to display that .
