    @scrimsmustang My dad has just gone and bought (a dog) an DT400B.

    He is an absolute perfectionist, when that's finished I will throw some photos up.

            @scrimsmustang Yeah, I think it's more of a nostalgia thing. He had the 125 as a teen so likes the styling.

            At the end of the day, he has had Ninjas etc and is just looking for a retro ride.

            I'm surprised at how small it is.

                  @scrimsmustang Yep, he loves all that though. He's got a 1964 Volkswagen Split Screen Type 2, so he's no stranger to overpriced parts lol

                              Looks like someone is going to get my Black H reg DTR for next to nothing considering the work thats went into it and the hour and hours tracking down parts, finishes in a couple of hours. Makes it all seem a waste of time and not worth it, if it ends on what its on now I hope the winner is a messer I would rather keep it than let it go for that price.

                                I could "bid" for it😉, could be busy at the end? Know what you mean though, you just want a fair price considering the input you put in

                                      They are up and down now, and I would say down at the moment for nice bikes and up for rough old girl project bikes. Back to front I would say, I think nice early ones will be worth money.

                                        I think the early ones will begin to climb soon as supplies dwindle, agree rough ones overpriced and would have happily paid a good price for your black one if I was in the market. What else could you get nowadays for that sort of money , looked good as new. Must admit the value isn't my top priority, just enjoy being in my man shed, keeps the brain ticking over and the hands busy

                                          Totally agree. There are some real dogs in the £1000-£1700 range and also some gems in the £1500-£2200 region. There are also bikes around in the £2500 range in reasonable numbers but I wonder if they are just advertised and not actually selling.

                                          The harsh reality is that most £2000 bikes are cheaper to buy overall when compared to that bargain £800 project - trouble is for most people you can 'find' £800 where-as £2000 is always a struggle.

                                          I've owned so many DTR's, TDR's, DT-WR's and 125lc's over the years, and sold for what now seems like pennies I could cry 😞
