Nice!
It won't end up cheap I am afraid

I wonder if it has any flood damage (Staten Island) ?

Actually, the pictures they posted, are poster/ad pictures, not of that bike.
Now they posted pictures of the crate. Which means the bike is still to be un-crated.

Create look clean - no obvious flood water stains on the wood.

ProItalia in Glendale had one with only 60 miles on the odo about 2 years ago. They were offering it for $14500. It's actually kinda sad when a motorcycle's value is nearly all in being a collectible, as opposed to being for riding, as it should be.

They wanted me to trade in my sportclassic with nearly 20k miles on it for the MH900e. On close inspection though, the build quality on the MH900e is not very polished. It seems more like a concept show bike than one that was truly designed to be ridden (e.g. oil cooler dangling in the air, looking way out of place; instrument panel bezel is cheap chrome-painted plastic). Imho it's more at home as a living room / garage trophy than anything else.

With the same kind of money, the Paul Smart sportclassic is probably a much better buy, as is anything else you can take out on the road every day and put a smile on your face.

That being said, that is a sweet looking crate. I'd totally buy it if the listing was just for the crate 

Auction is heating up   
I predict over twenty grands, EZPZ ...
