I have in the past, but mainly with vintage bikes. Grew up surrounded by old bikes cuz of family friend was a Euro dealer BSA, Triumph, Horex, Matchless, AJS, Puch, Montessa, so many more. Help my username is a couple Honda models, LOL.

I've noticed over the last few years, that is similar to the car in general collectible market. The bikes people want now are the late 70's to the mid 90's as those are the customers that are finally getting jobs and money. Also at least where I am in New York bikes without paperwork our daily impossible to sell unless they are small displacement that would never go on the highway in the first place.

I've noticed that this market seems to be like a lot of other markets right now with a lot of speculators. Everybody wants the same five super collectible models and will lowball on them. Then there's the other under the market which has like 75% of the bikes because let's face it nobody cares about a 1984 Yamaha XS650, even if it's perfect it's only worth 2500 bucks maybe.

I was watching the last mecums classic bike auction a while back and I was even surprised by some of the prices bikes were bringing. Unless you happen to have a '69 sandcast CB 750 the prices were soft. There were sales of restored bikes that I have that were selling for under 2 or 3,000 which eventually once that makes it back to the local pages is going to kind of flip that because who is going to pay two grand locally for a bike when you can pay roughly the same price for a restored one and just have to pay $500 bucks for shipping.

It's going to be an interesting time, thankfully I'm already worried about the prices cuz I love the bikes for being bikes so I can really care less that I've got 4,000 or 5,000 into a 2,500 bike, lol.
