And yet, somehow this dealership went out of business.

Strange...

OMFG...

Makes me sick, sick, sick to my stomache how these were hoarded with zero regard to maintenance and just left to rot. These are by no means "new" any longer, they likely have hundreds of parts dry rotted to hell, grease all coagulated as f**k in the moving parts, rats nests galore... Sad sad sad to let this stuff decay with the millions of people that could have enjoyed them over the years.

How is it different than an MH900e, Supermono or 999R with 0 miles?  Nobody is maintaining those bikes.  They just sit there and get old.

I don't like that either, but usually those probably at least get polished every now and then. These cars were stuffed into a dirty storage building like Bowflex's and Xmas ornaments. They weren't valued by anyone.

Many sat outside....

The prices most of them brought were absurd, given the condition. None were particularly rare or had desirable drivetrains.
