Mmmmm 09 B1250 probably about $12K new now $6.5K,
09 GSX-R1000 about $19K new now $8.5K,

Who says Bandits are not value for money, (at least compared to sports bikes).

Its a buyers market alright. Those guys asking big money for vintage bikes is bull shit, but there must be the market there for those prices. Either that or they are dreaming.

You can buy a lot of "modern" bike of all shapes and sizes for under 6k at the moment.

The speculation money is crazy in my opinion but it is only speculation.

I saw a XYGTHO (apparently phase 3) for sale recently for $900,000. Thats right almost a million bucks for something that a current V6 Camry could out run, out corner and out brake and you wouldnt have to lift the bonnet between services. Laughing
I guess there's no harm in asking.

Yeah but their not buying the GTHO to race against a camry. Their buying it for an investment, because its a classic and there aren't too many real ones left.
Not uncommon for them to be selling at those dollars

Youtube list it as 6 years ago!

You'd be right pissed off if you bought it as an investment then. Although the price may bounce back as the cars get rarer.


Sorry to hijack your thread Gus

I have a problem. I know it. The missus knows it.
I can only ride one bike at a time but would like to own many.
I've been thinking the same thing recently, Gus.
Have been keeping an eye out for something interesting.
A nice restored '74 Ducati 860 gt sold for B.I.N. price of $10g pretty quick smart.
There's a very nice Kwaka H1 500 in Adelaide starting at $5g
Duck Darmah in pieces, wants $6800
Untold late model rockets for under $6g, as 2ws said.
2006 Z1000 with pipes and 26000km asking $5800, probably get it for $5500 & put another 100000km on it no problem.
Spoilt for choice so long as you don't want a vintage bike.
