Affordable now. Or affordable now compared to what they will be worth in 20 years!!!!!

I still have a real soft spot for two strokes. Trying to find a box stock RZV500 or a Rg500 is getting close to damn near impossible!!!!!

Now just finding a Kawasaki KR-1r 250 is like finding a unicorn!!!!!!

RZV500


RG500


KR-1r


I would sell my soul to own one!!!!
1972 H2 750 Cafe Racer built in 1974.
1976 KH400 Production Road Racer.
1979 Kz1000 MK. II Old AMA/WERA Superbike.
1986 RG500G 2 stroke terror.
1986 GSXR750RG The one with the clutch that rattles!

Up in the hills near Prescott, Az.

Predicting the future accurately is hard.
CBX, classic and desirable for years.
GL1000 not widely desired, my guess never will be.
H1, H2 fantastic rise past 14 years.

2006 a 73 H1 #2 condition $2400
2006 a 73 H2 #2 condition $3900

Riders today are interested in the bikes of their youth. I think the same trend will be present in 40 or so years. Nowadays adventure bikes are quite popular and I suspect will be the most sought after classic bikes in 2060.

This one caught my eye today. Very nice!

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

I rode a friends Gamma a couple of years ago. I was glad to get back on my big bike. The 500 was fun, but it's not for me.

Same guy has a complete collection of Kawasaki triples including a (now sold) factory race bike H1-r . A couple of RDs an RZ 350 and his "water buffalo". Oh, also a RE5 back in there somewhere.
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

Wife's little bike... 1984 GPZ 550 Kerker and DynaJet stage I kit
Wife's BIG bike...... 1981 GPZ 1100 Kerker and factory FI Mikuni RS34s W/ K&N pods
