    Of course there is. But for some very very well heeled people it's something they can add to their extensive collection. I doubt any investment advisor would suggest someone with $600k to go put it in a car with limited appeal. Regardless, still doesn't stop it from being an investment.

    I've invested all my cash in Jack Daniels, hookers and blow. The rest I wasted.

    From memory, and I was like 19, the Honda was top heavy especially at the front and wasn't as lively. The Katana actually went quite well and I didn't mind the riding position. A friends dad rode it and came back gushing, said it cornered like it was on rails. That was supposed to be a compliment. But on reflection he was right. It steered like a train.
    I was hardly a good rider at 20 when it was time to sell, but even I could tell when, and I have a corner in mind going down the rimutukas to this day, you fell into this bump and you could feel it twist. I knew it wasn't right.

    At the time I thought they were space age cool like Starwars or Cattlecar Galactica. But to put that in reference, only a few scant years before KISS were my favorite band, so my taste at the time couldn't be relied upon.
    Still the alternative GSX was boxy and "of it's time' having lost the old fashioned but classier look of the GS range.

    Hard to tell from pictures on my fairly large Capitalist (work) phone. Box Brownie Nokia perhaps?

    I had use of a mates ex courier hack in late 80s and was grateful as only transport while my CBX550 got new mains. It was a Honda. With all that entails.

    Soft spot for NVs as a result. But you wouldn't want to spend your own money on one.

    A very poor phone camera.

    And I've seen CX400's in worse condition ... but not as high in asking price.

    I'm more interested in the state of mind the bidders are in to even put a bid on a shower of shit like that.

    It has negative value to me. I'm struggling that some people out there are actually bidding on it.
