I need somewhere to store them first. But the idea of buying bikes for investment is growing on me. My only real issue is being able to liquidate the quick enough. Like when we 'need' a new kitchen...
Had the same dilema and luckily there is a secure temp controlled/24hr manned place within 5 miles @ £9 a week! They can also provide chargers/cocoons dor less than a £5 weekly The way I see it 4-500 a year "worst ways" based on 12 months - likely 6-9 minths as they will be used occasionally and kept at home for a period. If they go up 3-4 a year you are covered, get to ride them and make more/sime money as the bank rate is useless Win win win.....
Don't get the maths there. How will adding mileage and reducing the condition put the value up by hundreds a year? Thats cheap for storage tho But I'd want something like @Exige setup so I can go look at them My dream investment garage.... Suzuki TS 50 (first bike) RD125LC (first road bike) RD350LC RD500LC 916 of any variant AND 748 SP Tiger model CBR 900 Fireblade 888 of any variant 1098R Things to enjoy looking at and sitting on and making noises.
I don't have the cash currently to buy a bike purely as an investment. I'm just getting bikes that shouldn't lose money unless i damage them or put on a shed loads of miles. 996 and 999 "should" be worth more than i paid for them BUT that's based on sales prices on eBay, etc, who knows what they actually sell for. Seen a lot of bikes at reasonable prices not sell over the last few months.
Fuck investment, by the time you reap the rewards it's time to wear a fucking nappy. Btw don't put your money into a pension scheme
Some of my bikes are for sale some rare some not so,i m sure they could be worth a lot more than I'm selling them for but I'm impatient and always on the look for something else interesting.
I know were talking ducati but I was thinking along these lines with my rsv4 (1st factory model)....when ive finished with it I thought about storing it...ive got my old dads 400/4 which is all original with 6k on the clock.
This must be the first time on history where people are buying old tat for investments? I wonder where it's going to end?
