@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
-
The Black DT is on ebay if anyone knows someone that may be looking for a decent bike.
-
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.
-
Nah, 2100 quid, gutted really.
-
@scrimsmustang Can you ever see the DTR's really fetching a high price?

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
-
Yeah, that seems the way it is lately, I think all the French imports are killing the prices also. There is a fair few on ebay for between 2795 and 2995 that will have cost around 1200 in france, though they dont seem to be selling. The prices have risen over there in France lately. I have seen a Black 2001 DTR for sale on ebay for 2695, it was still for sale on LeBoncoin for a grand at the same time, they even used the french pictures on ebay lol.

All the French ones have low mileage, not suggesting anything underhand but take with a pinch of salt as per any vehicle. My 88 had 30k on when I changed the clocks, mileage not as important as a well maintained machine, assume headlights would need to be changed or is that just cars?. Personally would prefer a UK bike if I was buying.

Anyway my Black n Green DTR has went to a new owner tonight, I owned it 3 n half years so it was time to go. Well at least its went to a good home 52 year old fella who will look after it. Easy sale no haggling and got out of the seller fees so at least 2100 stays 2100.
Decided to take the other one out for a quick blast tonight seen as I had some petrol money lol
Shes sweet as a nut, still love it. 91 Purple DTR must be the rarest of all the colours ? People either love it or hate it though.

It could do with the rear wheel respoking and the genuine cable clips for the forks and it would be brand new then.
, could be busy at the end? Know what you mean though, you just want a fair price considering the input you put in
