People will buy them as a future investment

Would they be a good investment though? The Mk6 500 doesn't seem to be worth any more than the normal ones. This is going to be a very similar scenario. I might be wrong mind.

A pricetag of around £20,000 seems rather steep for whats effectively an 3 with 215

agree it wont be a future investment not even the rs will be now as it has gone global

Just so we know, the official price of the ST200 is £22,745 OTR, I don't think it has been announced publically yet but at least we know now. Personally, I hate the colour but I know many people love it. The final drive ratio has been altered so that in gear acceleration should be great, but The asking price would be too much for me to justify.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the colour?

The colour could be called "approaching beige"

They should have done more with the special edition, they have probably done more than they did with the ST500 purely by altering the final drive ratio, but it's still not that special.

No, a bit of a bland colour I think. Could have done better being a bit more unique or lairy.

Could have done better with the performance too... Maybe 230bhp at least or pushing it to 250bhp as a real special edition. Could have charged £25k for that and made it a collectors piece.
