I don't think I insulted anyone. All I said is that it "Sounds like a
lot" to me. I think I'm allowed to express an opinion when somebody is
asking for one. It's ok with me if you don't have the same opinion.
I have met Phil and I think he can speak up if he is insulted. It's
not even his bike.
BTW, I would never insult Phil's car.

You can also buy a lot of very nice newer, running cars for the
price of a project condition 1969 Chevelle SS, but if you like
Chevelles, you're not going to buy the Toyota Prius instead.
It's fine that you don't think his friends CBX is worth the asking
price, but I don't think he asked to be insulted by someone who
obviously is not interested in purchasing the bike anyway.
That is all.

Yes, and maybe to somebody who wants that specific bike, it's worth
it. All I'm saying is that you can buy a lot of very nice newer,
running bikes for that kind of money.
Here is the Yamaha XS650 that I bought for $700 last summer, exactly
the way it looked after I drove it home:

It runs great and I'm having fun with it. I have had to do a few
repairs but not much. I personally can't imagine spending $3300 on a
non-running bike. Heck, last year I bought a non-running 1970 Chevelle
for less than half that.
