  1. Which bikes (90s onwards only) do you think will become sought after in the next 10-15 years and for what reasons?
    I don't mean just collectors or rarities or range topping race spec models, maybe just the nostalgia trip that sways judgement on a particular model, what do you think?

    I'm going with (in no particular order)

    999s - A divisive bike that is getting better and better looking with age. A dream to ride from day one!

    Zx7r (p series) - great looking, great handling, bit porky but seems to be the up and coming go to for classic racing.

    CBR954RR Fireblade - the originals have already gone a bit crackers in price and ones thereafter seemed to lose their way until this iteration, looks great, rides great and was only briefly made. So good it's the only model Baba san keeps.

    851 - it's history within ducati not withstanding.....just look at it! Interesting riding position but all is forgiven when it gets going!

  2. I'm also inclined to think the 2006 triumph daytona 675 ( in gold ) might be a good bet
     
  3. ST series Ducati's - not that I'm biased :D
     
  4. as I seemed to have convinced the wife, every bike I have ever purchased. the fugly is gonna be worth a fortune.
    one day.

  8. when you ride it you cant see the front end. but you can feel it. feels gooooood.
     
  9. You can't see the front of my ST when riding it too so I know what you mean :upyeah:
    Had a lovely 'foggy' :bucktooth: commute this morning - gotta make the most of the holidays, scorchio for the way home (I'm hoping) :D
     
  10. nice here and off for several days too. I should be riding one of them. even if its just up the woods.
    will the DR be worth anything?
     
  11. DR is a classic - is it a 400?
     
  12. Any hyabusa fans?
     
  13. Guess not lol
     
  14. Them crossplane yams have potential I reckon to be a bit special
     
  15. The Hyabusa was a beast alright but for the race to really fast bikes I still reckon the Honda Blackbird gets the crown (although almost immediately lost it), the Busa is still fugly :D
