if thats got the LV wsbk corsa full system with ti silencer and the original then thats a really good price esp low mileage and FSH and low owners... got a few non orig bits though and its a gen 2 mind
Interesting comments. Yes i agree it'll never sell at that price and yes i agree with the £14 k ish but interesting that people think they will never recover to the point it will keep dropping as well. Sure it'll never reach that price again, well maybe if unridden and in 40 years, but i dont see them dropping and not regaining some of that lost value. I feel that £12k to £14k is what it is and will sit there.
well i have a vested interest given i bought a v similar bike for that kind of money so i want them to be worth £12348549
Here are a couple of pics of my Triton.I have had a few of these,the last one was sols to a guy in Australia.This one has only done about 50 odd miles,shakedown miles,and I was never fortunate enough to ride it.
In their good years one with all the correct bits would be ten to twelve thousand. This one was bought some years back now for just under ten. I will be lucky to get seven to seven and a half. it would be sacriledge to do,but breaking it and selling off the parts would probably realise a lot more.
Hmm I know what you mean but you have to do what makes sense. That said, breaking bikes is often a long drawn out affair and all kinds of bits are left over too. Is it better to get £7K or £200 here and £150 there... GLWS
The old boy down the road from me has a large collection of what were once very desirable British bikes plus three TZ250/350’s. He is an ex IoM racer who came third in the Manx in his prime. Unfortunately his bikes have plummeted in value. He was hoping for a nice little inheritance for his kids/grandkids.
Bikes,cars,paintings and antiques can be a dodgy old money pit.Certain items with great pedigreees will always attract top dollar.Run of the mill items,however nice they are,will always go up and down like Yo Yo's. My feeling is that run of the mill classic bikes will not be recovering there prices anytime soon ,if at all.
Exactly this. Covid created a demand for something to do, which in turn created a wider interest in bikes and the supply and demand -fueled by dealers and the existing 2 stroke craze- pushed prices skywards. Now most of those bikes haven't been ridden for a few years and loads of people are selling- wives need new kitchens instead of dusty bikes in sheds- so again supply & demand dynamic kicks in hard. Plus the 2030 clean air will be on the minds of some too (personally I don't expect it to affect much re old bikes used for Sunday afternoon rides to the chippy). A shite time to sell, but a great time to buy! Plus in my own perspective if I bought a bike for £6K, rode and owned it for 4 years, and sold for £3K its not so bad. Grand kids can stop buying 'phones & get a job if they want some money.
Exactly so Jez.My sons philosophy is that I have had great pleasure in owning and /or riding my bikes,so time to move on.
