And, without trying to be rude, what is your point ? If your R6 is the final carburettor version I'd agree with you but if it's fuel injected I wouldn't have bothered. Is the R1 a cross plane crank which I would agree is special and what is special about a Suzuki 1000 ? I would have thought the GSX R750 was more unusual. All of which seems very negative when you are in fact very fortunate to be in a position to have what you like so I applaud you. I'm not jealous one bit. Andy
R1 is a 4XV first model, 2nd year colours, R6 is a UK first model with carbs, GSX-R is a 2001 launch model: I have one of these 750RR's with dry clutch from 1986 if that helps? Already posted before so sorry to who have to look again
What would a zero miles 916 be worth today compared to its inflation corrected purchase price plus interest compounded of the intervening years ? If you gain pleasure from owning them then great but I am not convinced it is a sure fire investment.
Better than a Tamiya model. Purely investment decision that I enjoy rather than investing it elsewhere - I have bikes I run, also that I build so just another facet of my enjoyment of bikes...
I would buy as many bikes as i could afford even if i couldn't ride. coz i like em, not for any investment.. Unfortunately i also like a roof over my head, food, booze and errrr.... other stuff so i've only got one (and some bits)
Nope, I don't get it at all. I'm not jealous (well I am, a bit) but I just don't get how you can 'enjoy' an investment (until you cash it in, obviously). I'd much rather see bikes like these on the road.
Not at all - a small amount of savings with a 25 year endowment (crap return) and a £25K inheritance which I nearly tripled with a property investment over 10 years. And then the decision to change my property investment into something I can see every day, some I have ridden - the zero mile ones obviously not as it would be investment suicide
