Gee I don't know they are undervalued now, and you may have to spend $XX,XXX (LucasCurrency) to get a $X,XXXX speeder, but someday they'll get scarce and people will realize what they are and the value will go up even while prices for parts rationalize to downright bargain levels.....

the lack of window glass in the body shell makes a huge difference. So at 333 lbs no big deal. Interesting that the weight savings is only 234 lbs over a standard 928. Like having a good size passenger in the seat next to you.

To be stiff, it has to be a lot thicker..otherwise it could probly be 800-900lbs, but fold up in a turn.

Plus, the rocker has a different profile - this might be for stiffness as well.
