Stock roadsters in excellent condition fetch $16000+ regularly here in Aus. There is a particular gentleman from maleny near brisbane who sells them regularly and I have not seen one of his stock (upgrade-rgm disc $450 and Barney clutch plates $80) sell for under $15000 in the last 4 yrs. goes through bout 5-8 per year. Recently sold a dommie 500 w/belt drive for $16000.
Allstate I'm sayin is in another ten years, you'll pull $30k+ each for these dunstalls.

Dunstall made no improvement over factory Commando style, I.M.O. - certainly not worth paying that kind of premium for anyhow.
I am still undecided whether to go with a well-sorted stockish appearing [love that roadster lithe , lean , purposeful integrated angles look, it is just so right somehow] Commando, or put the mill/box/isos in a modern lightweight [G.P.250 race-bike] chassis.
Of course, either way - it would be prudent to ensure the mechanicals were well sorted by a reputable source, too.

Pulled in a Interste in the mighty Falcon :shock: He actually rode about the posted limit :x
Said hed got it from Mr Qld , for $ 22.000 :shock:
20.000 miles on it , no bother . Though he did mention something about starter motors . :lol: ( Mk III )
Horses for Courses . If youve got the money , what the hell.
JaW, the one that cleaned up in the wet around 2003 at puke a cooee was 750 roadster , Dunstall pipes with F1 type cans ( V Mod. ) ride to work hack . NZS ? 250 Honda ( barf icon ) suspension on Alloy
Engine plates ( a bit like Hobot's ) and I fink Norvilish top Iso . Apparent was the smooth contiuous fuid power / delivery . While everyone else was trundling round knees knocking and teeth chattering .
Id think the power characteristics unsuited to a wee SWB city snotmobile , unless the flywheel not all there . Then the tourque could well twist the frame , and the plot get power steered off . AS THE
rythym of response is more akin the the Rover P4 than the wee Ford Escort . ( Either suitable for emergency evasion when whizz bangs muck it up , but somewhat more alaRMING IN The Rover - - - -
what you need is more Like the P-38 , wheels miles away in the corners , room for a large crew , the weight of the Escort , and TWO Engines . Why , 20 Passengers & its the Weight of the New Bently Coupe .
:mrgreen:
Therefore , with the Commando Frame , theres room for one on the Tank , one on the Bars , a few pillion , and you can fit a few either side , before you start adding extra grab rails & footrests .
Either way , urban Combat isnt really a brilliant idea . With that Flywheel Wound Up snot boxes tend to get under the wheels . A good deal more at home in the wide open spaces .
Prime virtue being the ability to drift sweepers , rapid instantaeneous steering responce not being required when steering with the throttle and lean , through footrests & Throttle .An impediment even .
Go and see the outfit down the Bay for a few test rides , then buy a low milage wreck for low time internals . Below about 80 mph climbing all over it hardly alters the directional mannerisms .
Though a Rickman frame may be twice the torsional ridgidity and has at least as much room .Short Stroke might be more snappy if you insist on turning it into a Honda . :x

+1 and then some
It's still a pretty charming looking bike though. Looking forwards to seeing what it brings - with a spare motor I suspect it's not way overpriced?
Personally I think the Proddy Racer takes some beating style-wise, and then only by the likes of D****i :mrgreen:

I don't even know wtf you are talking about mate?
My point is that given the way prices are going, all I am saying is this is an investment purchase. A katana 10 yrs ago, $3000: now $10000. A wire wheel katana, add at least another $3000.
It's a period special fitted with his namesake special parts with a spare period special engine to make another period special. I wouldn't buy one for kicking someone's arse from red light to red light. I would build something myself using the latest go faster bits (ie maney/fullauto) and slap it into a featherbed and make the dick in his space suit on his R1 or 1198 wonder wtf just happened as he caught up with me at the next set of lights. Then I would do it again to the next set.
I think what the guy is selling will increase in value exponentially as have proper thruxton triumphs and vello's.

What about Nortons Thruxton Club Racer. ? !
No-one ever mentions them, why are they excluded whenever 'thruxtons' are mentioned ??
Rare as hens teeth.
When did anyone last see one for sale....
(Anyone got a better pic, they weren't plain like that ?)
Mmm nice. I have never seen nor even heard of one but looks great and reinforces my point of low production "tweaked" street bikes that were available for purchase in 60's/70's are now basically going to new homes for the sellers asking price. whether they were the best/fastest/coolest/most expensive is secondary really. Amongst other "bits" that we're integrated into the standard model commando, there is only a certain number of Dunstall alloy barrels that were manufactured with DUNSTALL stamped across the front. These will increase a great deal IMO for this reason and this reason alone. The ebayer has two complete power units. One mounted one not.
I won't be buying it for one reason. For that money I'd try and grab a basket inter or a velo thruxton requiring some work. I have my choice of commando. 73mk1 850. First 850 was my choice as it just looks the business. Loved em since I was 13 when I saw one in live to ride magazine.
