20K each, good luck. I would rather spend the 20k or so on a used OW or RZ works bike.

I was on my way somewhere or other in the car the other day and ABC radio had a sports memorabilia expert and a car collector on discussing the investment value of exotic and historic vehicles....cars motorcycles and even pushies. The car bloke quoted an article he'd seen in the New York Times where, because of the uncertainty of the financial market, more and more people are investing in classic cars and motorcycles. He said that the crazy speculation that'd been seen with GTHO Falcons and Boss Mustangs in the USA had taught a lot of lessons and that people were now investing in mid priced classics. The New York Times piece had, over a 20 year period compared a $20k investment in the stock market, a classic vehicle or real estate and found that those who would have invested in a classic car or motorcycle had the best return for their investment. The sports memorabilia bloke went on to say that cars or motorcycles with documented celebrity ownership or even better a successful race history are bulletproof investments. So when you think that guys like Terry Good, David Bowden (race car collector) or even our Alan Jones are pissing their money against the wall, think again.

How much do they want for it ???

IMO collectable bikes need to be a bit special some race history or rare models like YZ a's 2001 Honda CR 500 the only cool thing about that is it's new.

How much do they want for it
If you have to ask you can't afford it Bill ;D. I've got my OW72 Yamaha enroute so I've finally got a piece of works bike collector bike action happening but if I could afford it this would be living in Casa del Firkos bike bunker.

I do think property in the long term wins, however with classic bikes there is no transfer fees, no landtax no council rates and if its your passion....

I contacted the person yesterday regarding this RN500.
Here's the response :
"Hello Gavin
The bike is located in Holland and the owner is asking 60.000 euro.
Clay"
I think this equates to about $75,000 au.
Unfortunately I would need a Lotto win myself. :'(

Brian, that's the first I heard about Ake using a Husky brake..As you can see below, his '72 Trana-AMA bike had the stock Maico hub as does the GP bike going by the period pit photo. There's a possibility the Maico hubs may have been magnesium but I've never seen a period works Maico with Husky hub. Willi Bauer used a Yamaha hub briefly but it disappeared after a couple of rounds, probably on orders from Otto Maisch who hated seeing non Maico parts on the factory bikes.http://www.vintageworksbikes.com/1972Maico.html (http://www.vintageworksbikes.com/1972Maico.html)

The Husky front brake is mentioned in VMX (Issue 45, p23) and refers to that article, should have mentioned that earlier I suppose.
