Hmmmm - I always get a load of messages asking for a BIN so
I put one in this time. Probably not a good idea, I will remove it.

OTOH I have been watching a load of 400 fours and none of them are
attracting decent bids.

That's because most are badly restored or just crap. I've been
monitoring them as well, and there are dozens and dozens of scrappy ones
or ones that have been bodged with the wrong bits.

The punters have wised up. Really good genuine ones make decent money.

which bears no relation to the market for workhorses like the K75. Over-
winter commuting is their forte, and this time of year is possibly the peak
of their market niche when someone with a relatively new bike is looking
for a winter hack.
