His family visited him often then huh? Quick enough to go round and divvy up his shit after he's gone though eh?
If my dad had 2 bikes I'd know about it never mind 20 odd. And I barely see him from one year to the next.

I'd buy them all for £25k tomorrow.

They have all the log books, they must be worth way more than 20k.
They could just leave them where they are and start a museum.

I'm a bit more pessimistic. £12-14K the lot.

Do you know any profitable museums?

There are hardly any classics going for less than £1k in any condition.
I'd bet some of those would fetch £10k+ on their own.

That's a win.

That's the only (of the ones shown) unknown. If you are right, then it's about £8K-odd for the rest.

It will be interesting to see the results, if and when they're available.

Only all the motorcycle museums I've paid to visit.
I suspect they must make a profit to exist.

Dunno. Most small motorcycle museums I've seen only exist to justify an extreme level of hoarding.
