Same here; I have been looking for a Vincent Black Shadow for $2K, that's what they were going for when I bought my new 1974 CB400F. You would think they would be dirt cheap by now, not the $985,000 recently paid at auction for a rare version. If you want to buy a similar "soon to be very rare and stratospherically priced bike", look for a Ducati 916 that has some semblence of original bodywork on it.
