Ok Calum cheers for the info, how come and re is worth less money? I would like it to go to someone on here so if anyone fancies it make me a decent offer, it’s sitting in my garage cuz I don’t wana ruin it so it’s a shame. I’ll get the pics sorted as soon as I get in.
Cheers again -

Besides the fact that they're an inferior build quality (from 2000 they stopped building DTR's in Japan and opted to build them in Spain), they don't have that "classic" look. They had a short production cycle. They aren't kickstart, they don't have a rev gauge, they're slower.
To be clear, I love my RE, always have always will. I think the RE is a superb bike. But just in general, collectors aren't interested in the RE.

Although derestricted the maps on the later RE's are much less aggressive than the earlier models.
But that's besides the point, once you've got an aftermarket ECU, decent exhaust, intake and fueling system then any DTR is going to quick. You have to just take it for how they were out the factory.
And a collector isn't going to want to modify one, they're going to want it in factory form.

I just suspect it's a little high for a market that hasn't matured enough for collectors. I suspect in years to come, the Stefan Everts model will rise, I just don't think we're there yet.
To put it another way, a forty year old DT can be had for £3k mint and £1k project. They are now considered "collectors", but even for a collectors market that's cheap...

Think you may need to resize your pics and wait until finished uploading before posting. Bog file sizes don't work

Yeah that's lovely that. As Danny pointed out to me, lots of bikes on for this price range, I'd have a punt at advertising it on eBay or something.

I wouldn't like to say, I haven't been in the market for DT's for years.
Personally, I couldn't justify paying 3k for a DT, but that's me.

Anyone else have any ideas what it’s worth. I just don’t want to let it go too cheap but also I can’t see another one of them for sale anywhere so don’t know what to ask for it. Is it just in the same price group as all the other dt’s or is it worth anymore because of it being the limited edition? Or is that not as rare as I thought?

Honestly I don't reckon it would sell for over 2k, don't take that as me being rude, it's a beautiful bike. The problem is it's a Dt, they're no advanced machine in any aspect, look at what other bikes are around for that price? Dt prices are abit crazy right now and I don't think I've seen any sell for over 2 grand, even for very clean "r" models.
Lovely bike though mate, a lot cleaner than mine

Don’t think your being rude at all mate, appreciate the honesty. Now Iv got something to work off. I paid £1500 for it so anything over that I’d be happy. A couple of people have told me it was really rare since Iv bought it so thought I might get more for it.
