Quite an extensive list of bikes recently sold at a big auction in 'Mercka.

Some of the prices surprised me.

Thanks for posting and, interersting reading.

Got a zero hour CR500R parked up in the barn under cover since new. 21 years old. Wonder what that's worth now. I must pay more attention to these auctions....

I currently have very tidy examples of : 1990 CR500, 1983 CR480, 1982 XR500, 1970 QA50 and 1974 QA50 :headbang:

[TLDV8]

I picked this up in the 1990's for NZ$2500 with the engine in boxes.
They have gone up a bit in asking price since then, the same decade I grabbed two H2A's. ($1700 for the pair in separate sales to go along with the H2B I already had since 1980)

[TLDV8]

Although all look immaculate, the US dirt bike prices have skyrocketed.
I still have quite a few RM125S parts and two 1968 MF Husqvarna's in storage (along with my 86 WR400)

there's enthusiast prices and investment prices. in the states there are plenty of investment restorers, you buy a bike pay them and come up with something as an investment that happens to have two wheels and not a land title

yip, and other japanese brands ran their tyres from the factory. One day they were asked if they wanted to continue racing and winning against these brands, or supply them tyres. they chose to do tyres

[F5 Dave]

With a change to up pipes and braced handlebars they had the GTO offroad variant, weirdly with same ribbed front (for her pleasure) tyre.

[wetanz]

naya - personally i think with whats coming down the pike, future prices will reflect peoples uncertainty

[F5 Dave]

Have you consulted The Elites and our Lizard Puppet Masters?

[george formby]

Wut, tea leaves don't work anymore?

[wetanz]

we are in the middle of 'go brandons' energy transition ... "the new green deal" ... higher prices are permanent ... we are feeling supply side inflation now, next comes demand and service side inflation ... inflation is growing and has become detached from intervention ... demand for non-critical goods is contracting at the same time prices are rising = stagflation ... means jobs are about to go as food fuel and energy prices keep increasing ... we are looking at 30+% inflation at least coming down the pike faster than you can drive parts of the A5 autobahn (some stretches have no speed limit)

credit markets will be hurting by end of 2022 as consumers cant meet payment - loans, credit cards, mortgages - defaults will break many families

if you havent bought a house this year you are ahead financially ... equity and values are plummeting

if you dont own your own home now you will become one of klaus schwabs 'you will own nothing and be happy' people and this will make our friendly horse-faced "jackal" wet between the legs

Wow, you're a bundle of joy.

I've got "several" Classics in the garage and use most of them so don't intend selling any time soon. If Armageddon arrives as you predict then I'll be out of pocket...tell someone that cares.

[wetanz]

not predicting armageddon at all ... would not, however, want to be living anywhere near a city ... i can produce my own food and keep it, live in the area where my great great grandmother is buried, lots of people related to me here ... networking will be key

the coming mid-terms in america will define the near future, the uniparty is so corrupt they cant afford to lose, i fear that if they cant intimidate the voters with antifa and blm, or if they lose control of the election cycle they will use monkeypox to cancel elections altogether

[george formby]

Can someone please post a link to where I can get one of these crystal balls?

[wetanz]

turn off the tv ... start reading ... the internet is your friend, while it still exists in a somewhat open form, censoring is a real problem chose your search engine wisely

i also have the advantage of age, my schooling was less politically regimented than the last 50 years, they still taught critical thinking then, and used the cane for discipline - not this namby pamby bullshit today

[F5 Dave]

Ahh! He's been Doing his own research. It's such a cliche it almost ceases to be funny anymore.

Chortle. I suspect F5 D has only hazy memories and some kodak shots of his 30's. No offence F5 D.
