Take a look at that, it's not mine BTW. That is absolutely stunning. Is there anyone here who can claim restoring her?

Yeah, but you'd think people selling any vehicle, let alone a motorcycling, wouldn't want to associate brakes with breaking... Not exactly confidence inspiring.
Although, my biggest gripe is trying to get info about a bike out of a seller and only getting single word responses back. You'd think they wouldn't want to shut up about their bike and would try to sell you on being an honest guy selling an honest machine.
Sorry for jumping off topic...

You're totally right. I have 2 Hurricanes that I want to put back to original condition just because I think they are cool and not many are original anymore. I question my sanity, because what are they worth?
This one isn't close to being original and has a nice paint job, but what's it really worth? Whenever someone posts all the money they put into the bike you know they think it's worth big bucks, and I can't imagine putting $10k into a Hurricane...I don't have that much into my Norton which is worth a lot more than a Hurricane.
People need to understand, if they put a bunch of money into their bike(s), they likely won't get it back and the build was for themselves not the next guy. If you want to make a profit you need to choose a more valuable starting point.
Taking nothing away from the F1, they are good bikes, but the market is limited to those of us that have a passion for them, and most of us are too knowledgeable to ever think they are worth as much as a nice used RR or even an F4i...why would someone pay you more than a bike with better technology and performance?
