To me personally its not worth no where near that much. Only way I would dish out 7200$ for any F3 is if it was one that used by a famous racer and was autographed by them.


I have one of those jackets. LoL. I've had it since I was young, my parents use to smoke and they gave those out for turning in points off the cig packs.

here is one for 30 bucks on ebay: Vintage Camel Cigarette Smokin Joe 92 Windbreaker Jacket Size XL 44-46 | eBay

KBB says that bike is worth $2300 in excellent condition. i've seen them go for a little more, but $7200....

The bike, in & of itself, isn't rare. Its out of production. Its only worth what a buyer is willing to pay.

The seller is trying to tie his 'collector' items into the value of the bike. In simple, there is NO relationship according to his discription.

Now, if the bike actually had documented provenance to Miguel Duhamel, like personally owned by him/raced/autographed, in addition to the collector items, he might have some added perceived value. However, they are not related & thus, there is no added collector value for the bike. Simply, the bike is worth what its worth according to NADA/KBB & nothing more.

Can't blame a guy for trying to get what he can on a deal but him trying to add value where there is none, isn't going to work w/ most buyers. Then again, P.T. Barnum had a saying... ;-)

I have number 48 and I paid $2700 for mine, there is nothing different about the Smokin Joe's other than the paint job and the the Vance and Hines exhaust. The only thing I may be wrong about is the exhaust.
