I am willing to bet that in a few years, that will seem cheap. Restoring these is as expensive as anything out there... And as with anything rare and 'not meant to be collected'... it's where collectors eventually flock. If the restoration is as good as it looks in pictures, the buyer paid for the restoration and got the bike free.

Cheers,

While that may be a nice Topper, I consider restoring to mean bringing it back to original. There is so much wrong with that one that I can't believe it sold for so much. Check out this one for a more correct condition.
