    While we're looking at TM, what the fuck is either "classic" or "vintage" about a new Royal Enfield, BMW R9T or Guzzi V7?
    Or a near new Keeway (what the actual fuck is a Keeway?) or Ducati Scrambler?

    Out of 383 bikes in this category, 118 of these bikes are less than 10 years old....

    The same guy that has that sand cast Honda for 60 large has an H1 for more reasonable money.

    Do all the scramblers come from the same place? They all look the same.

    Well, 'BOOM' seems a little enthusiastic for something waiting for market to catch up?

    If I was him I'd ebay it. Plenty more money around there and for US exchange money it might get snapped up at that.

    I still wonder how long is too long to wait for your investment to peak. At my age that has no real appeal to me other than knowing what it was. Add another 10 years and yeah, that guy could have spare coin and have wanted one 'cause his uncle used to turn up on one. Add another 10 years and he wouldn't be so keen on manhandling it and his uncle's been put in the ground a while back.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Here's an example.

    Not at all. You see you forgot about it, then one day it gets snapped up. so the expression fits. A bomb you've forgotten about still goes boom.

    This new Ducati Monster is a nice looking little bike. only ten grand too. Its got all the Monster signatures though: trellis frame, upright riding position, feisty little engine (water cooled on this version), and OK cycle components.

    "Labour of love" or a nightmare. They'll need a variety of expertise to get that lot sorted.
