Holiday season boredom has me scouring the usual places. And wow. Prices of our favourite classics are really going crazy.
One bike I've really noticed commanding high prices is the XT600E 4PT. You'll now pay £3000 for a twenty year old model. In good condition that is.
You can't seem to even find a decent 750 Africa Twin for under £5000.
DRZ400s have been expensive for a few years now.
It seems people are now understanding the real value and rarity in these simple, rugged 'do everything' bikes that are engineered to last and are easy to service. Especially as modern bikes are getting more complicated and expensive.
I wish I'd bought more of them when they were cheap.

It's not the bikes getting more expensive, it's the money are getting cheaper since they printed it so much.
Also it is a known fact that during recession prices on used vehicles go up.
