    An all-time Classic… that just happened to be so very fast. They will continue to be sought after as time goes by… may be the first motorcycle to go over the $1 Million mark in the future. they look even better when out on the road being ridden!

    If I’m not mistaken the one million dollar mark has already been broken years ago.
