After first selling on a BaT auction to a non-paying buyer for $4750 back in May, this 1985 700 Interceptor recently resold for an impressive $6600. I say impressive because the bike still presents as a slightly above average example with lowish miles (10,558) and typical patina.
From my original post:
"... appears to be in average to above average survivor condition with the usual cosmetic aging issues; some paint discoloration and surface rust on the frame and exhaust headers. The tires are listed as Dunlop K591, so they're likely well past their best-by date. Amazingly, those unobtainable black chrome mufflers appear to be free of road rash."
This sale demonstrates the interest that an original survivor can generate and here's hoping that the sale signals a general uptick in 1st-gen values. Well sold.
