Vegas 2024: Did the shrill of this six into six CBX sound the alarm bells?
Notably this year, Honda's six cyclinder CBX came in under valued and were way down on previous years. While a few failed to sell, others only made the modest mark of between 12/13K. Owners would be hoping it's only a blip in the economy...

Vegas 2024: Still popular, but early RD's stall...
Переглядів 6695 місяців тому
The iconic RD400 Yamaha has a great following and prices generally reflect it, but this year it was one two stroke that didn't really appreciate. This one was tidy unlike past years didn't top five figures. Perhaps a more realistic price....

If you wanted to win races in the 70's, Yamaha's TZ750 was de Rigueur...This would be the cleanest example we've seen and given there's not many left would be considered a steal for 50K. ..Although not legal for road use, it beats the snot out of any world record setting H2.

Vegas 2024: Kawasaki's "New York Steak" comes in medium rare...
Переглядів 785 місяців тому
With just four '73 Z1900's this year, they could have attracted a premium, but no...While one was modified, the other three barely held their own, idling at around 20K.. This particular "New York Steak" stood out and was the tastiest of all.
Vegas 2024: Second Kawasaki triple smashes world record set only the day before..
Переглядів 4 тис.5 місяців тому
For the second time in as many days, another Kawasaki 750 triple has smashed the world record set on Friday. In a stunning bid off, this two stroke triple blew its competition away racing passed 40K and setting a new benchmark of $US50,000!!..Absolutely unbelieveable..

    I own one so im biased, but really just 3k??? Assuming it doesnt need a bunch of work its worth at least 3 times that. It was yamaha's first 4 cylinder bike, it won a bunch of stock endurance races, and it was part of the era that led to the super bikes of the 80s/90s which eventually led up to present day superbikes. Sorry for the rant, but $3000 is just ridiculous. Its so hard to get people to see what theyre looking at.

    I grew up on them. Got my motorcycle license on my 14th birthday and wheelied away on a piped-up 1971 H1. Both being in bone stock trim, the 500cc ones were funner to ride. They were just as quick from a dead stop and around town, and were lighter, more flickable, and as a bonus, were much, much cheaper to purchase. They were practically giving them away. I owned half a dozen of them back in the day. I rode lots of the H2 750's too, but just couldn't justify the additional cost of owning one over the 500. Unless you were going to spend big bucks hotrodding it, the 750 just wasn't worth the extra cost to me. Of course knowing what I know now, I wish I had bought every one that came availabe at the time and stuck them in the garage until now.

    I remember as a 10-13 year old kid early 80s reading the classifieds in the Swedish motorcycle magazines, where TZ 250 and 350 were very common, asking price a few hundred dollars. RG500 also, maybe double that price, and few times a year a few TZ750 for another few hundred dollars. Not expensive. And often heaps of parts came with it.
