Ha ha ha no they are packed in like sardines and I keep some at work. I work in the bike trade and have about 250 dealers to look after so drop on the odd bargain I can't turn down. I would prefer to have the bikes I have than £15,000 in an new bike losing money like its in free fall.

Love the XBR! 
My first bike after passing my test was a common-or-garden XBR. Still hanker another one as a 'project'.

That XBR is in fact a GB500TT they made a 400TT also for the Asian market, the black version is the later model designed for the USA.

I had an early version of the GB500TT it started out as a yellow hand painted shed find....
and was sold a couple of weeks later as a Silver GB500TT Clubman.

That GB 500...
Droooool. I'd love one of those.
Always loved those - and the XBRs too.
Thanks for the pics.

Some lovely Bikes there Ant1967 
Very few people who like old M/Cs own only one through choice. I met a couple of guys at Moto Pistons, one owned about 100 M/Cs, the other (a Norwegian Gent) owned about 140 bikes
Maybe someone could organise a UKGSer Classic weekend sometime, there seems to be a fair amount of interest in old M/Cs on the forum.

I think you are right about the classic scene getting bigger we all seem to hanker after something we saw when we were young (good or bad) rose tinted glasses are a wonderful thing I have a few pairs just in case the wife throws a pair away lol.
I know both of those well
Mrs Og has a Streetmagic now that i've borrowed in bad weather - an absolute joy to commute on - you cant stop giggling!
a mate of mine had a big pools win and bought a CX custom.
obviously we took the piss but he did a straight 100,000 miles on it.
I also bought a high mileage XBR a while back - £100.
brilliant bike - so fast and smooth for what it was

It's only a bargain if it's something you actually want / need. Otherwise it's just cheap

when I was an apprentice at Harwell, I once had a forman that was on the Manx committee that arranged stuff for the TT, he had five or six brough superiors in a lock up in Didcot...or Wantage.. i forget (along with a host of other Brit exotica, but of course it wasent that exotic then). Even then they were rare, but this was mid 70's so of course still could be had of a few k at that time I suppose, imagine their worth now.... me and other apprentices just thought they were oily old brit crap....
