[QUOTE="John Oakes, post: 113603, member: 3647"] I agree with the above. The prices of pre war bikes have been solid this year. Just look at the strong prices of cammy velo projects and spares at bonhams and brightwells. The ss100 brough that fetched £420k in March at the h and h auction in need of full restoration. Also there was the series A comet (non matching numbers) that fetched £100k at bonhams in April. Flat tank Norton’s, bullnose sunbeams, rudge Ulster’s, 1938/39 triumph twins all fetching strong money. Much of the brit 50’s to 70’s bikes even Vincent’s have stepped back in price ( particularly series d) only the Japanese sports and lightweight 2 strokes and bikes like rd 350’s fetch rising amounts even fs1 tiddlers are regularly going for over £5k now. So there’s never been a better time ( in the last 5 years at least )to buy a norton, Bsa or triumph twin which gives greater opportunity to enter and be part of the classic bike world. I am 41 and know of a growing number of my peers and younger getting into the classic scene ( including Brit bikes) but through different routes than picking up the old bike mart or joining the vmcc and going to stafford. They follow and feed their interest through instagrammers at the bikeshed, Seymour motorcycles or read the blogs of vintagent and venues like caffeine and machine. The interest is definitely out there and growing if you look in the right places. [/QUOTE]
