Eww. Not in black....

(and not at that price for an import)

Out of curiosity why not an import? Surely the Germans got the same bikes apart from clocks and headlamp.

Regards value, a German import just does not appeal to the collector. The "matching numbers" is also moot since those numbers do not belong to a UK bike!

Still a great bike but provenance is everything when it comes to value and while £8k is not an obscene amount for a clean 350LC, that's only because a good clean UK bike (matching numbers!) is dragging the value of these machines up.

..and it's black. Ugh. Any fule know the red/white LC was the fastest.

I'm not into the matching numbers UK bike thing, they all left Japan the same (mostly) and no one would be able to tell my bike isn't a UK matching numbers unless they get down on their knees and read the frame number and then check it against records - and they won't be able to do that when I'm riding it around enjoying it.

£8k seems a bit much these days, nothing is selling very well and a lot of stuff is experiencing a downturn in price.

I've still got mine, it owes me £12k, but I'd expect half that now if I tried to sell it.

I would love an LC. Back when I was younger maybe 30 years ago every night there was a bunch of us that would meet up in the town
centre and most of the bikes were two strokes. One guy had a 375 Stan Stevens tuned and that made the most amazing sound
when it got into the band, it used to send shivers up the back of my neck.

I remember some tricked out Air Cooled's , one 400 which had dream machine marlbough race paint and formula 3 All Speeds
and a nice little yellow 200 with microns. And there was a girl that had a pink and white Rd125 LC, all the guys were after her.
They were good times back then.

I'd love either a 250,350LC or TDR250 but they're daft money so it's not going to happen & having a bunch of anoraks going over it looking for what's period correct/non original holds no appeal.One of my mates got a 250LC last year for about 4.5k & I'll have a ride on it in a few months when the sun's shining,but there's no way I'm parting with 4K+ when I look at what else is out there for less money..

Prices of LCs (and most other 'classics') are well down from where they were a few years ago. I'd be very surprised to see that black 350LC make £8k, it looks at least £2k overvalued to me. Being a German import will affect the price somewhat, but the main thing folks look for is condition.
