Looking at EBAY and pondering the purchase of yet another classic (small 2 stroke). and came across a FS1E (that seems to be in the wrong colour - could just be the pics), for £10,000 - yes £10,000, and I was wondering what makes people pay such crazy amounts of money for bikes. Even bikes that in their day were not desirable (CB500T, CB360 etc come to mind) fetch silly numbers - our chosen classic has not reached that level yet, but I suspect one day it will. Not real answer I guess. I will say though that I watch quite a few bikes and many (more than half I would say) do not actually sell. (I also have a 1976 fsie, and it brings back memories, but it is simply not worth the money - I have had it 8 years and paid £850 for it). Maybe I answered my own question - investment - but I am not sure that in all case that will work out!

Possibly reminiscing of happy days gone by, when you're only worry was putting fuel in the tank and keeping it on the road. Now mortgage done kids grown up, some money in the bank, let's get back there and try and relive our youth.

the market supply and demand is the driving force but where the item is and the time of year can alter prices considerably,ebay is a good way of finding what a item is worth but not the buy it now add's you watch the auction add's .the market is driven by one force,you only get what someone will give you
