Making "wise" investments...

[80-85 husky]

I think you have to be totally obsessed or lucky in this regard. I knew a bloke with a purple GTR XU1, immaculate car, was convinced they were going to go thru the roof $$wise. it was his first car and he looked after it intensely... until mid 1990s when he just had to get some cash for a new house or an extension or something so he sold it for 8K......

Hindsight is bitch if you ask me..... I sold my genuine "lettuce alone" HQ SS for $6500 back in 1996 and thought I got good money for it. I also had a turbo charged orange LJ XU1 way back in "86 that I swapped for a brand new CB900 boldor.....I thought I did well with that deal as well

Just saw a picture of a Husky WR250 AE  twin shock , now that might be worth something.
PEZ ?

I have never seen a 250 AE I have only seen open class Auto's

Turns out it was a 83/WR roller with a ARMY 250AE engine.
Sure looked factory.

Hmmm forgot about those Army auto's there must be a heap of those somewhere? I wonder if there cheap?

we should have an "unwise" investments page, we could learn a lot from that!!
(I don't think the server could cope with the traffic)

Looks like we can blame Husqvarna for the curse of black rims on VMX bikes.

[mustanggrahame]

Aprilia rxv any model
Canondale any model
First YZ400F
Early Husabergs (with fuel pump in the tank), earlier the better.
YZ125WR 2004 model

My thoughts are that in years to come an era line will be drawn between steel frame bikes and alloy frame bikes, time will tell tell if I'm correct but I can't see many of the alloy framed bikes being around 30+ years after production let alone hold any much collectable value even if they are.  Just my 2c, you are free to disagree.

Great read Brendan,
I think the last Suzuki RMX 250 ,1998 to 2001 was an awesome bike. Whether that makes it a good investment time will tell. Cheers Terry.

Don't buy a current F1 car and expect to race in historics in say 20 years time. Apparently some of the exotic marterials used degrade within a comparatively short period making them unsafe to use. I'll stick to water pipe framed Bultacos in the meantime. J
