And I quote unapologetically from the 2nd comment added to this excellent blog: thevintagent (http://thevintagent.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/las-vegas-2014-recap.html)
" I spotted the legendary "Gold Star in a box." No, actually it was the GB500 TT Honda in a box, which sold for--if I have it right--$13,800 US. That's a record for the model, I believe. The two other GB500s that were up, with Mid-America, are listed in the results at $8,000 and $10,000, the latter for the personal vehicle of a AHMC executive V-P, both at approx. 4000 miles on the clock. A personal favorite of mine, GB prices have been creeping up steadily over the years. It's a little surprising how many of them come on the market. Makes me regret having passed, twelve or so years ago, on a pristine example stashed away in the back of a Philadelphia area Honda dealer with 2,500 miles on the clock and an asking price of less than that in dollars. Ah well....Even at 10 or 13 K today, the GB's a bargain for those of us who'll never get any closer to one of Rob Ianucci's 7Rs."
In my humble opinion there must have been an awful lot of mint sauce on the mutton! :o
Slainte, Bill.

A new one went for £9000 in the UK or $14930 dollars phew at the classic bike show which surprised me since there was one on ebay Germany for £6000 go figure! I have just bought a 11k miles Japanese one for £3k and am happy with that. The first one I purchased in 1990 was £1450 but sold it silly boy.
