This has been on display in my living room since i have owned it.  I recently took it out for run & ride and am very impressed with it's operation and sound!  I work mostly with old Honda's and after running this and riding it, i understand the love people have with Triumph!  Unbelievable sound and pure enjoyment to ride!  There are a few paint nicks on front fender and rear fender that appear to have been caused by shipping at some point after more recent paint.  Tried to show in close ups of fenders.  Hagerty Valuations: Concours $20k, Excellent $16k, Good 12k, and Fair 8K.   This bike is better than Good condition considering resto and engine/trans work.  It runs excellent.  Will need $1000 PayPal upon winning auction.  Balance by wire within 3 days.  Free local examination and pick up in Scottsdale Az..  Buyer to arrange shipping if needed.  Will assist with shipping/drop off to your carrier but will not pack/crate it.  May deliver near to AZ for consideration.  Have a look at the pics and ask if there is a question.
