You can buy new Vesrah pads for $37 a pair; why would anyone pay large money for originals? Who can even see what the pads look like? Not to mention those old NOS pads are made of asbestos or urea formaldehyde or some other crap that kills you.
To win some shows, a bike needs to be all original, and some people will spend whatever it takes to make it so.
And they have the money, in some ways, that must be nice, in others, well, it is what it is.....
I guess you're right, but to me brake pads are internal -- nobody knows what the rear pads look like, or the clutch disks.. The hobby has a lot of different levels which keeps it interesting for us all.
