If they need cash I guess they should have uncrated them a year ago before the global meltdown . Ah , a rich fvcker will buy them . BSL is already on the phone with his Mexican contact . Speaking from experience unpacking my CB50R and NSR50R , those Honda crates are so sturdy they could store an H-bomb . The owner has good taste ; he has a street CB50 on the wall !

^ Oh yeah , surprisingly they do get dusty even in the box . My NSR still had the plastic straps holding the cardboard cover on , had been sitting since 2004 , and was covered in thick dust . The 2 bikes in the vids don't have the plastic straps so I'm assuming the dealer had removed the covers to check the bikes for damage way back when he ordered them . There's nothing like unpacking a new toy .

Great post. Just want to know where I can get the same deal but I have a feeling I am too late.

^ Actually , water and an auto specific soap is the best/safest combo to use to get that thick dust/grime off w/o scratching the paint ; they would've had to use a full can of spray polish to avoid scratches , and I doubt a dealer would do that . When I bought my (very black) RC51 new , I axed the dealer to please "assemble" it carefully and not wash it b/c I wanted to do it myself . Now I have no hairline scratches on the pretty paint .

That makes sense, all that dust, just make sure the sponge you're using is very soft...

I've seen that NR drop vid before . What is an obvious noob doing on a piece of mechanical art ?! I like her protective gear , especially the sweater around the waist ; wish she had dropped it at 100mph . More money than brains club . Idiot .
