Strong possibility I will go. Usual life-stuff may prevent.
Also a slim chance that I will have a wodge of cash to spend on auction day so may need someone else to ride my 'other' bike back. Mr. Green

Cheers. Thumbs Up I'll amend insurance for the day, but as I said it's a slim chance.

I think I'm ready for another Jap classic myself (but then, seeing em at a show'll do that to you! Rolling Eyes ). Probably something a little later than that CB750 for me though. The GS1000E they have at Megastore in Swindon has just been dropped by £300 to £2695; sorely tempted. They had a GS750 too, but that got snapped up quickly.

Of course, I could go for another Z650.

Trouble with all those kinds of bikes is I'd only end up wanting to do to em what we did back in the day; nice rorty 4-into-1, 2:4-style seat, pod filters etc. The GS is a US bike - guy at Megastore is importing a lot at the moment. He's got (had?) a CB750, CBX 1000; certainly keeps me going to the shop, but not spent anything yet Laughing

But then there's one other bike that I keep thinking I need to buy NOW, cos I'm sure they're going to skyrocket in price soon: FZR1000 EXUP. And I've just seen the first sign that prices are indeed rising. Up to now, there have been a few very nice examples for around the £1500 mark. Just seen one in one of the magazines at £3150 though!

A more modern classic perhaps, but we're drawn to the bikes of our youth. Don't think I'd even be able to ride it all that far without aches and pains these days Rolling Eyes

There's an XN85 listed there, with a guide price of £3-4k. If i had the cash and the space, I'd be all over that like a tramp on chips.

I loves a challenging bike, I do.

I see from Bonhams List there's a few of the Bike Shed bikes on there. For silly estimates IMHO, but what do others think? Worthwhile reward for the time/effort/imagination in building/modifying?
