Don't be offended! The market will decide what it's worth! It's not always what you think either, but then again, you only need one buyer!

Currently, the market does not think a lot of the late 70's early 80's factory custom / chopper things. Time might change that!

You might wanna hang onto it a lot longer! It might be worth more!

Good luck!

Hi Midnight

As you can see from my public profile I have the XV750 special. I have owned this since 1988. I saw one recently at Red Baron that was renovated to near perfect condition and I think they wanted about $3500 for it (can't quite remember exactly, but I was going in to order some parts so I'll tell you what it is if it's still there).

I personally have know idea what mine is worth, but I have had it so long (I bought it with only 5000k on the clock) but it hasn't always been my number one vehicle hence it only has 61k on the clock now. My bike definately needs cosmetic work but is otherwise in original condition, despite the critics on this thread there is a market for this type of bike and the 1000cc version must generate a bit of a premium.

Did you see Top Gear last week before last, when Jazza sold his cages he lost money, and the next year they went up in value so he would have made money holding on to them for a bit longer.
(or is the increase in value the result of him not owning them any more)

Yup! Everything goes in cycles. last year 60's triumph's were red hot and the price was bloody stupid. BSA twins slid backwards, Nortons were static and I think everyone that want a classic RD350 already has one.

Next year? Who knows!

will get photos up later today or monday mornin. This bike is old but collectable it was the 10th one ever made. I know that the $2000 spend doesnt go on top of the price. If I sold this bike will sell maybe between $5000- $6500 which is what the bike shops feel? Its not how mint something is its weather you can find one. Thanks

I bought one from a bike shop for $2500 and it was a minter, bought another that had dead plates for $500 and it was a sweet runner, and another for $900 that just had $1500 spent on it with full reg etc..... its only worth what ever the guy buyin it wants to pay....good luck mate.
