I was chatting with the about a potential purchase (NC35) but you have to call to see what's actually in their inventory because they don't seem to update their website too often. The owner (Ozzy) is the one who personally does the deals for all the grey-market imports. I can't vouche for them since I haven't actually bought anything yet but he does sound like he actively seeks these bikes pretty often so he may be a good source for us in the states. With that said, Redline did tell me that they also import these bikes but not with a title. Ozzy @ cycle imports will sort of mumble something about the bike coming with a FL title but won't put it in writing so you gotta roll the dice with that one.

- My 2 cents...

So out of curiosity, how much cash do MC21s get us nowadays (in the US)?

The problem with the MC21 is finding an original one -- originality is key to resale value.

What makes the MC28 and VJ23 so valuable is the fact that many of them are unmolested, partly due to the difficulty and expense of derestriction.

$5,000 to $8,000 for a clean , good running, unmolested one with title. More if its a correct Rothmans.

I purchased the other vj23 from Ozzie a few months (NOT the $15K one!!) Took a while to get the bike but it was the actual one in the picture and "as advertised".

He does have some way to get the bikes "titled" in Florida, but, still with the "short" vin#. Here in the US...its then a state by state issue with registration....California being the worst!

Mine is now legit....with a 17digit vin#.

Ozzie was always available by phone/email during the whole process.

In the US a clean 21 can be had for $6k or so, a clean 28 about $3k more.

Now if you're talking a low mileage all original mint condition bike, add another $1k+ to those figures.

In the US I don't think the reason 28's are more valuable has anything to do with molested or unmolested. We just don't dig the antiques. Razz

It's the swing arm and the cool key card that make people crazy about them in my eyes.

Oh, and they must like the look of the 21 tail section... Right Andy Wink

The best thing about an MC28 is the top fairing... when it's on an MC21! Laughing
