Sure it will go for huuge money, but it's a bit of a pointless buy.
You can't drive that bike, ever.
You can't drive it right now because it will need maintenance and a few more new bits and fluids to be driveable in the first place ...but then you ruin the originality.
And if you decide to do that anyway and drive it just for the heck of it ...you'll be burning about 1000 $/€ per mile driven.

Crazy crazy, but my goodness, what a find. Fair dues to whoever buys her. I'm not sure if I'd want them to use it as she was intended to be used, or keep her mint.

Currently at 25k with a couple of days to go. I would safely best that it will go for at least double that.
