replicas make little sense to me: if you have one, then people will be asking: Is that a real " "? and you have to say... no...

I rather have the genuine lesser vehicle than a fake rarity. happened when I was thinking of buying a ducati 750S- some one had made it into a F1 replica (very similar bikes.. the frames are identical except for the direction on a cross brace.. etc) . But to me the bike was worth less than a stock 750s because who wants to ride a fake f1 and feel like a fraud?
