Bonkers money, considering that we are entering a recession !!, if you buy a classic bike, make sure it is one you can ride and enjoy, and avoid the garage queens ! speedway bikes are pretty much worthless at the moment, sadly nice to see the early origional Z900 went for a decent price
That Z1 wasn't a minter, but bikes like that were fetching £16k+ not long ago! 😯 The (now ex) owner of the Wilkinson shared our sentiments regarding bikes being used. 👍
Ha ha, I didn't buy anything. My garage is full, so I have to sell first. If I had space, then I'd have bid for the 996 Duke, R7 and '73 Z1. Bargains! 😯 I don't recall seeing a Kawasaki KH250. 🤔 There was a very nice purple 1978 KH400, sale price £6750.
I’m going to have a look in the back of the shed for an old Vincent or a desmo Ducati !,. Freddy the frog offered me £3500 for my cb750k2 a few months ago, that Bonhams lady auctioneer is good,. Not been to Stafford for years, £22000 for the R7 was cheap, what amused me about it is the prices of rusty scrap outside, piss takers most of them,. Someone said to me an auction with 2 people bidding is never going to fetch a good price, if you have say 6 or more bidding the selling price will be high, I wouldn’t fancy the auctioneers fees on that Vincent either .The show and shine rivet counters side of the show is impressive tho,.what caught your eye Derek ? I thought the rocket 3 was a bargain in the auction,.
Was also surprised there were no takers for the R7. RC45 went cheaply. Honda Fireblade, Ducati 996 & '73 Kawasaki Z1 were bargains. 😯 The nice Suzuki GT750 should have got a bit more money. 🤔 The lady auctioneer was very good. Rich old guys are merely putty in her hands! 😂 She was a warrior too, as she appeared to work most of the day! 😅 Amongst my favourite bikes were the Yamaha RD421 'The Shocker', Moto Martin CBX and the Mad Max 'Goose' replica KZ1000 😃
@@derekb2765I think only 2 bidders on the R7,considering it’s been an “ornament” for most of its life and the money that’s been spent on it to bling it up for sale, someone’s lost money on that,.
The RC45 was a bargain, should have gone for around £30k. I thought the Desmo was about right, not far off. No-one interested in the R7 at £22k either! 😯 I hope you're right about prices coming back. 🙏🙏🙏
The background noise was an issue in places (e.g. the TT winning Ducati 916). I did use noise reduction, which improved things a bit. Thanks for watching 👍
Ive got an R7 OWO2 and the last 2 to go through auction (both mint) was £32k for a zero mls one and £22k for this latest one that had low mls and been riden through the paint and accessories shop, i'm pitching my "riden" one for £30k, wish me luck, but i only paid £11k for it in 2004,.
Well, if the worlds going to end, buy that classic bike you always wanted and ride the hell out of it 😊
Can't say that I am enthralled with miss personality on the hammer.
Why not? She's a warrior, and knows how to separate rich old guys from their money lol 😉
@@derekb2765 Many women know how to do that lol.
@@JohannesC-c9kLol! True 😂

@@derekb2765 the fact that the Z1 is unrestored adds to it's value
Can't be many original UK spec ones left
I think it would need a bit of work to get top money 🤔
At least a repaint of the engine. The rest of it looked decent 👍
What did you buy? That Kawi 250 triple was pretty. Sell price?

Very exciting … if I had a few lovelies in the garage but , alas, for me the world has ended.
Ha ha, for me, my garage is full, and I'm not selling my bikes at those bargain prices! 😂 Thanks for watching the video 👍

@@cabovermikeThe R7 didn't reach its reserve, so I assume it didn't sell. Haven't checked the results to verify 🤔
Honda RVF750 for less than 30K? Not going to get 30k for mine then, obviously! Prices will come back. That Desmo16 was cheap, relatively!

A bit more volume please.

As a long time owner of both much modified RC30 and Z900, I'm glad the prices are still high!
RC30 went for decent money, but the '73 Z1 was a bargain! 😯
@@derekb2765 Absolutely! However as my Z900 is extensively modified, the purists/anoraks wouldn't want to pay anywhere near what the Z1 went for!

@@cabovermikeI'd hang onto it for a bit longer in this financial climate! 💵👌
Yes, but you might get nearer the unmodded price if you've retained any replaced parts 🤔
All i can say is more money than sense just a load of crap
Thanks for sharing your opinion. And thanks for watching 👍
