Evenin' Chaps...
All Hondas are collectibles from Day 1, but that's just my opinion. ::)
Hummm...I don't know about all of them, but I do recall watching a doco a few year back on the top 10 motorcycles of all time and numero uno as voted in this doco (I think it can still be seen in parts on YouTube), was the
Honda Dream ...ahead of the likes of the
Britton,
Duke Darmah and
Brough Superior.
Oddly though the
HRD Vincent didn't even get a mention
If you have a bike over 30 years old and are in a club are you entitled to club rego
In Victoria (at present), the wait is 25 years, but alas I think that may well change...but I hear what you say though and yes like cars, motorcycles too are
graded classic, vintage, veteran etc...but unlike the UK and Europe a veteran motorcycle (for example), here in Oz is up to 1918, whereas in the UK it's pre WW1
Well I'm hanging onto the Gold One since they were a limited release.
You could be right on the money...but does rarity and anniversary alone make it both desirable and collectable...time it seems has been less than generous with Enzo Ferrari's 50th year diversionary F50 for example
However, with the anniversary Gold ST's...who knows...but I bet a sheep station that if it does become collectible, the ones that are
both in good condition
and still
bog standard are the ones that are sort after
OK, perhaps if I put it another way...if you had the means and $$$, what motorcycle would you most likely buy to grace your shed /garage? and Why?
And...failing that option what motorcycle (say), built in the last 20-25 years is in your opinion going be become a marque and why?
For example, that Z1300 I made mention of at the beginning of this thread I could have procured for a lot less than that 15k a few years back...it was featured in Two Wheels and was in cracking condition...though I knew of a crash it had, it was repaired entirely of NOS parts, a lot of which are now unobtainable, it was
all original...but I didn't want it as Kawasakis don't
float my boat, as it were.
Cheers, the can :)
