For Sale Ebay Bikes

It’s not the fuel that will decide the value of this age of bike but their desirability, my lad loves motorcycles but not the generation of bikes that the 851 nor 916 sits in. He likes and prefers the Panigale, RSV4, S1000r. The age of the 90’s bikes being collectable is coming to an end within the next decade IMO purely as potential buyers are literally dying out.

 

I agree with the buyers dying out, hopefully I live long enough for cheap Jota/RG500 & really fancy a proper Cagiva Elefant 900ie with 888 bottom end.
P. S think Porsche have made a biofuel that old 911s will run on?

 

I’d take any of the bikes you mentioned, Cellular Methanol?

 

I think that's the stuff.
Porsche have realised that 70% of the cars ever built are still on the road.....Always knew the print factory bosses I worked for & city tossers I went to school with would cause something profound in the end .... P. S I'd love a 997

 

spot on and exactly my point

 

Yes, I agree. My dad has half a dozen BSA, Norton etc but they do nothing for me.
I think he needs to move them all on sharpish and buy me a R model of some sort.

 

Bikes are weird in that respect, models often appeal to each generation....so I'll have any Vincent Blackshadows, Brough Superiors you old fogies need to often load before your final journey.

 

I'm not sure, I think tastes change and mature. My Da had a cafe racer made from a Matchless Silver Hawk!! (1931-1935) Eventually he put it back together as standard, it's miles before my era, but I would have loved it in my stable.

I agree that tastes change over time, I’ve always been about fast sports bikes but I now also own some slow old crap that I love riding. I almost bought a Norton 16h last year and regret that I didn’t .

 

A work colleague of mine had a 911 he was 24 at the time and wheeled and dealer his way to purchase one. He couldn’t really afford to run it, often scraping the money together to put fuel in it on occasion.

 

Somethings are timeless & that Matchless is beautiful thing to behold.

 

I'm not sure about other folks tastes in the world, but surely Bimota only make beautiful motorcycles, so what happened here on this model.

I like that.

 

The technology yes but those plastics, perhaps they could've been manufactured in better, neater way.

 

does look like some Aprilia/KTM designers got a say in that.

 

Yes you could right, maybe it was farmed out designwise,?......but who owns Bimota these days.

 

That thing looks like it has bungee jumped through the ugly forest, from a helicopter, and hit every branch on the way through

Basically a Kwak Ninja H2, for over double the cost

 

I think you need to revisit your starting premise Andy

 

It probably looks better in the flesh than a photograph but still not my bag, but i can't talk as i own a Buell.

 

I think it'll be like the Brexit vote, a split vote on like or hate.!
