Hey guys. Most bikes that are even semi complete and partially original projects are in the $1,000 to $2,000 range. We all know what tires, leather, paint and the shiny stuff cost. Making it run $$$$$. But its priceless when it does fire. Even if it only runs for a few seconds then dies. When you do get to ride it, thats priceless. This is all about the love of cool old motorbikes. Lets hear about prices though. A friend and I have been kicking this around. What does everyone think are fair prices for these bikes and parts. I agree the bikes don't usually go for what the sum of the parts cost. Parts are hard to find and pricey. But we are dealing with rare bikes because they were throw away equipment back in the day. And like most stuff, once it gets to be a certain age, now its collectible. My friend has 2 Sportsman rolling semi complete bikes. No motors of course. If anyone has a motor they would like to sell please let us know. Relic, I bought the 52 so Mike could by the Sportsmans. Sportsmans appear to be as rare as trucks. Not sure how many were made, but you hardly ever see or hear about them. What would these be worth when restored. This has to be all about the love and not the money. But money does seem to have its ruling power. Merry Christmas to everyone.
