Surely a museum piece?

all he has to do is drop his price by £1500 and i could be tempted

Very nice bike, but less than 300 miles a year? What is the point?!?

[spicy mchaggis]

very clean, not my favorite colour scheme though

[chronyx]

I've seen a mint, and I mean immaculate one at Newlands Corner a few times

And another I have gone all wobbly at the knees

I just looked at both bikes again and it has got me wondering.

Is the AT a fast approaching classic, and is the value increasing?

Both of these bikes are super-clean, with the one I started the thread about looking almost factory-fresh to me, but their prices aren't too far off what you might be lucky enough to get an older KTM 950 Adventure for.

So what is it do you think? Over-inflated selling prices or an indication of a legendary bike achieving classic status?

The pending T.W.O article may help to answer that I suppose, if we get a raft of new joiners following the article.

The fact that dealers seem to be buying them up on ebay (to sell on at a profit) doesn't help matters.

The prices are high but we'll never see its like again. If Honda make another @, it wold probably be a 1200cc with ABS, CBS, TCS, PGM FI, etc etc and a computer to control it all. With all the other choices of this type of bike around, it's still the only adventure bike that I want.

I'm looking for one at the moment and I am glad that there are @s around that have barely been used. I'll hold out for a minter, but not the one shown at the top of this thread - too expensive and the colour makes me want to
