Bike for an investment...

[Hiflyer]

They made one years ago - late 70's I think - not long after they went under. It was a truly ugly beast. The police in England ran them for a while. pretty sure there was a racing one too!

Wankel rotary - more wank than rotating in a bike I think!

15- 25 years ago they did but that's another story lightning brain.

There was a thread on KB a while back about a rotary norton that they'd set up for racing but It might have been a one off.

Lightning brain?? Wouldn't that make me smart...?

buy a harley, wait 40 years. profit.

A good 2 stroke will surely increase in value, like an RG500 or NSR250.

I was also going to mention the Norton 961. Liklihood of Norton going bust again could make the value = collectable??

KTM Superduke R...............maybe not. I agree that there a whole lot of 80's and 90's bikes mentioned here that are going up in value. Manufacturing numbers for new models are greater than historical bikes I would think so collectable models aren't as common without parting with a shitload of cash.

I think I would have been better off buying 3-4 lower value older models off trade me rather than the speed triple as a second bike even though the triple was not bought as an investment.
Then just keep updating the one bike for fun............................................... ............
