Would you pay £115,000 for this?

Essex dealer puts sky-high price tag on 5,000-mile 1993 Honda NR750

A HONDA NR750 - one of the most hi-tech production motorcycles ever built - is up for grabs on eBay with an asking price of £115,000.

The bike was produced in the early 1990s by Honda to showcase the company's engineering skills; a 32-valve, oval piston V4 engine, Carbon Fibre Composite bodywork and titanium-tinted screen are just some of the revolutionary features that warranted the bike's £37,000 original price tag.

This particular 1993 model has covered 5000 miles from new - quite a few for a bike with such a heady price tag. We'd have expected it to come with delivery mileage only.

It's being sold by an Essex-based dealer who describes the bike as 'IMMACULATE'. The machine also comes complete with 'A1 HON' registration number.

For the same money, prospective buyers could instead plump for a mint Ducati Desmosedici MotoGP replica and still pocket the remaining £80,000.

See the bike's full details on eBay.

I think he pressed 0 one too many times, £115,000?? It better be able to make me tea and ride itself (for those times when a few drinks are called for) for that money

Not when you can get them from a dealer up north for £38 to £40k no.

This dealer is known for taking the p*ss price wise.

All bitching aside....Thats one good looking motorcycle, i don't care how old it is...so classy.

Honda, pull your head off ur lower back and start doing cool things like that NR750 w/o the ridiculous price Tags.

I want a freshed up V4 SP2(SP3?) LOL (and Lottery #'s while we are at it).

No way is it worth that amount of money.  If it was the last one in the world.... maybe.
