The Formula One bars were Koizumi Medium Oversize and released in 1983. The same bars were also used for later Silver Streaks after development suggested they offered improved handling. :daumenhoch:

You can see the various Koizumi bars here http://www.os-db.net/content.php?363-Handlebars-all

The Formula One decal was added for the 2nd generation released in 1984, prior to that the usual was only the circular 'DB' one.

I'd say so, like anything they'll get snapped up for the right price. :daumenhoch:
