I'm not sure they are worth the asking price, but then again I don't know how collectible they are.?

Funny I was just looking at the RZ's on Trademe yesterday. Like you I don't know exactly how collectable they are, but would never have guessed they could be worth that much. Then again one of them has a genuine (??) bid of $10k. I reckon people are mad to pay that kind of money, but whatever.

Both look like very nice examples.

You'll never be able to buy new 2 stroke bikes like those ever again, so I suspect that's why these are getting pricey.

People are paying silly money for those bikes, but even so he's being a knob. If he halves his price he's still going to be above the market IMO.

Mate! You should try to buy your 16 year old daughter a $2000 car. 1993 toyota Corona with 180,000k on the clock went for $3600 the other day. on inspection it was in good condition but not that good. This is the case with many of them around that price range. Some dick will come along and just keep bidding till it ends. My daughter is getting rather pissed off now.
Its not the people asking for that money, they actually start the auction around the grand mark but it ends up in the 3-4 grand mark.

My brother just sold his old Polo for $1,500. The car is on the verge of death, is cosmetically appalling and will not pass another warrant. He got $1,500 in two days. Ridiculous.

Dunno... Looks in good knick. My old man has a PE250 and 400 that hes restoring, seems to be some market for them.

BIKE magazine said a while back that the CB750s were getting so expensive in the UK that they recommended prospective buyers start hunting for a CB500 instead.
They said the 500s are cheaper and in some ways a nicer bike.

Those 500cc two stroke Yamahas look expensive but they are certainly desirable. I'd be wanting to check UK prices on EBay or wherever to see what people are asking there before I plonked down that much cash.
