Holey Shite that went for a lot of money!! Knew i shoulda bought that one for 1500 pounds back in '98.

15K would be quite reasonable for that bike.

If they got $19,000 for a complete bike I reckon the wheel would be worth $2000

So it exceeded my blue book value a bit , but I guessed reserve, is there a need for a professional bike valuer out there.

Anyway CCM falls into same category as RH250, good trade mans bike if your trade happens to be dentistry.

some one wanted that bike badly.  I hope it is a good one and doesnt need much (any!) work.

There was a magnificent 74 CCM recently for sale in the UK that didnt sell for quite a bit less than is and it was all done and ready to go....

Yeah but Aussie is on pre recession pricing still

If your lucky enough to get that money that good, but l done feel that they are worth that amount of money.

I am not surpirised really.  I located a 79 CCM500 about 12 months ago in great condition.  The owner wanted $15,000 and he based that on "more than a brand new WR450", which I though was reasonable.  Problem was he couldn't get it to run and for that money, that was a decider.

Goes with the CCM territory. I think the price of a WR450 is actually a good reference point for a bike that won't depreciate a cracker until they ban fossil fuels

All of these big dollar CCMs makes Jonesys 4k '78 model look to be a pretty good buy.
