Well, as opposed to the $30,000 restored one NOT sitting in my garage, a
very close replica (in appearance, if not mechanicals) would be nice, if
affordable. Like the Chinese versons of the R75, there are a lot of
people out there that would love to have the real thing but would also
like to have something they could ride/use without worrying about
tearing up a rare collector's vehicle. How much did you figure on one
costing?
