No, it's grossly overpriced.
* Parts come to "about" £7,000 (say 10,000 dollars) including shipping, taxes, etc.
* The 'bike, if a decent second-hand one, could be anywhere from, say, £3,000 up to new price, near £11,000.
* Then (for me) hours and HOURS of labour! But less for a shop. Say, I dunno, £5,000 of work, to include bespoke parts and modifications made 'on the fly'?
So that's over £23,000 for a brand new 'bike, with more savings if you use a second-hand, older 'bike. Parts removed can also be sold, but that's not part of the 'bike's sale (unlike this seller who is including all the removed bits, that YOU are paying for, like it or not!).
I'll be auctioning my identical (almost) 'bike in a few weeks. I'll be offering it for between £17,000 and £18,000 I guess - I've not decided yet. It's a 2018 model, with just 166 miles (!!), rebuilt from a superficially damaged crashed 'bike. It won't break my heart if I don't sell it. I've not ridden it yet, but I think it might be a bit big for me to handle. We'll see...
Of course, selling all depends on having someone wanting to buy, as Tommy observes!
