Snerk, what? Sorry, dozed off there. Got to cut down on the number of mai tais for breakfast.

I like the color, nearly. My preference would be just a shade lighter. It looks like a perfectly good speedster with low miles and 14 yo tires. I do not like the wheels a bit.

The trailer is a gimmick as far as I'm concerned. I've never understood the need considering that speedsters are a bit uncomfortable for LONG trips when you might need the space. Maybe if you wanted to bring a pet along.

Anyway, it sold at $38,750 and is headed to Dubai.

Yes the trailer can be seen as a bit gimmicky but motorcycles pull the all the time for touring with a tent, cooler etc.

And considering the number of Speedsters that head to cars and coffee to be noticed, why not? It was pretty much thrown in for free at that auction anyways.

Gordon - That's my black 4Runner in back ground towing Shu's red MGTD to Carlisle.  I remember the rain - of course, that could be most years! I too admired that trailer!  Making a mold of it would be a great money-maker for a retired guy.  Builder spent hours on it, I'm sure.  Northern Tools has an aluminum lightweight small trailer that would be ideal to cut the trailer's weight.

I think a Mazda Miata (I have a '16 ND) has less storage than a Speedster.  I have seen some similar Miata trailers but harder to do as they are steel/aluminum - so more difficult to sculpt. Most are just cut-off rear portions so no nice aerodynamic front end.
