Wow, yes that's a fair bit less than I'd have estimated.
Classic bike auction - lead us not into temptation
- Thread starter The Other PaulG
- Start date
There are what seem on the face of it to be some reasonable prices in the sold list. Given the garage space I could have been tempted by the Laverda Mirage at that money. Whether the riding experience would live up to expectations is another matter - probably a case of rose tinted spectacles.
The original looking slab side GSXR750 at £4370 would appear to be a decent price, too.
I remember looking a MHR replicas in 2015 and they were north of £10 k then. There has certainly been a correction in classic bike prices.
There has certainly been a market 'correction' if this lot are anything to go by.
The DBD34 Goldie at £8,510 - My mate sold one 10 years ago for a straight £13K.
I can't help thinking that I'm missing something?? -

Thought vat was around 20% so would that be an extra 35%
According to the web site, the sold prices given include the buyers premium. Not sure if that is then + VAT though.
It would be
The 20% VAT only applies to the buyers premium, not the sale price.

I sold mine for £115.
That was many, many years ago and it was the market price at the time.
Here you go the Bonhams results from this weekend. Another MHR Replica mid 8’s my gasted is well and truly flabbered
Whoever bought that 400/Four for £17k needs their bumps feeling but I'd have been very happy with the GL1000 at £2k 
I recognise the Dale Winfield collection bikes as they were showcased in the cafe at Winfields of Accrington ( big outdoor store). Eddie Kidds bike, lots of signed Foggies bikes ( Winfield sponsored him as a yoof) . These bikes represent a small part of the collection, the bulk were auctioned by Matthewsons about 6-8 years ago.
I dont think classic bikes are an investment anymore. The market for them is literally dying off. Can you imagine gen z buying old motorbikes?
