+1 on this. I had a '94 in those colors and put white wheels on it. It looked like a completely different bike. I started getting compliments on it after I did that and most people didn't even notice what was different about it.
I'm sure that guy doesn't exactly have people beating down his door to buy that bike but I could see someone paying that much. Figuring that the average person that bought the early double r's new is now in their mid to late 30's, it's likely they have more disposable income than they did at the time they sold them. I could imagine someone who owned that exact bike back in the day paying a little "too much" and not really caring because he's getting a nice clean example of his original ride.

SpiritRR, I agree about the colors, but I think a big part of it was moving away from the white wheels in '94. Although MUCH easer to keep clean, the black wheels just don't have the same impact on that bike as the white ones do.
