Honda CB value

[Chocky]

Anyway: the reason that old Brit stuff is plateaued? The enthusiasts are all old(er) dead(er) or on fixed incomes. Pricks like me who grew up on Jap stuff want what we had when young and trashed it, or couldnt afford then. We're in our peak earning years, our kids have left home, we've paid off our houses and we are looking down the barrell of death. So we want to recreate our yoof. Hence the spiralling prices of Jap bikes. The next stuff to go through the roof will be the late 80's early 90's stuff. Mint early GSXR's, CB900RR's, stuff like that.

IMO of course.[/QUOTE]

lol...I'm 47 and am in the process of doing up a 82 CX500 (to std condition to sell to the cafe crowd) a 85 GSXR 750 (to mint cond to be put under a glass box in my lounge) and a '96 GSXR 750 to thrash till one of us dies :-)

I think the other contributing factore there is the 'new' Bonneville. You can buy 'almost' the same bike, without the hassles of vibration and the 'prince of darkness' electrics.
Certain models are still increasing in value, like the Vincents, and 'rarer' bikes of the 'common' brands. Square 4, rocket 3 etc.
