Hey I've got one like that... but a lowly 2010 C5.  Its my commute bike.  Surprisingly comfortable over bumps for a roadie.

Whats the go with all these roadies.. you should all be ashamed haha
On the dirt is where its at! 
Going from BMX racing when young, to DH racing, but now after a few big injuries, an increasing age and busy working life its the AM (all mountain) riding which best suits these days. These bikes can literally do everything and really fun to ride.
So got my new trusty steed up and running. Pedals uphill like a mountain goat and nearly just as good as an old XC race bike but bashes down hill nearly to the extent of my old DH bike. A lot of fun!! (note running clips usually, just chucked flat pedals on as temporary).

There was a guy riding one of those on the M7 path a month or so back...it sounded like a dirt bike rolling past with the engine off!!

Nice Avon,
 
I'd be very happy to settle for that!! And its just your commute bike!!
Its the paint scheme on the 2013 C6 that grabbed me...its outstanding, just suits my taste:)
I dont know what there worth...dont think it will be anything under $2500 so might be a while before I see one!!

Just been told by the LBS I'm dreaming at $2500...maybe $3500!!!

Its my best bike!  I only mentioned it as a commute bike as my commute is pretty bumpy in places and it handles the bumps nicely-  something about the carbon frame apparently. 
Main problem with it is the engine.
