I can tell you they fly under the radar for the most part.
You have to go to an event with a pool of people who might have been made aware to get attention.
If that is what you want.

Yeah I had never heard of these. And looking at them, while they are beautiful, I can't say, in the images I have seen, that they strike me as any more amazing beyond a number of other frames I have seen. Don't get me wrong. I trust that with so many testaments to their craftsmanship, they are a site to behold and offer an exquisite ride.

You might be able to get away with riding it occassionally (someone would notice in my area), or going the Austrian route and storing it in your basement...but I'd have to think selling it would be hard, at least for anything approaching its value. The thing to understand is that even a confente at five figures isn't a great a haul when compared to other things, and it's harder to get rid of than your average Harley Davidson.

Thanks, was looking for something to do this evening.
That dark blue one is a real stunner.

This is for sale again on eBay. Currently at about $9600.00.

Is it real, or a fake???? The S/N looks like "F7" to me. Weird....

Sold at $13,300. Seller has zero feedback and winning bidder has a total of 2 feedbacks. Something just seems off to me.:notamused:

The seller I think is legit. Three bidders. Hopefully for the seller the low feedback bidder pays up. The behavior of the winner was interesting, kept placing insurance bids over his bid that put him on top. There were two or three overbids to the winning bid.
Someone really really wanted this one. Winning bidder placed his last bid with quite a bit of time to go.
