Where have all the airheads gone?

[Rob Farmer]

2 mono G/s and 2 R80's for sale on Ebay.
1 R100/7 and 2 R80 for sale on Autotrader

None on here

Where have they all gone?

Have Thunder and Colt bought them all?

Motorworks said last year they were starting to dry up.

Saw three excellant g/s's etc at this years Dragon Rally..and all three had never heard of this site or could be bothered !!!

I'll go with colt/thunder and proff for owning them all

Is it just that people have finally realised that the superior 1200 is the way forward, and have simply torched the airheads as an act of mercy?

 

[Crapaud]

Well I've bought two in recent months.

Just got the R80/7 frame and other bits back today from being powder coated. They have done a briliant job, it looks better than new.

Next job is to attack the engine to clean it up. This bike is going to be mint when finished with all the new bits I have for it.

My 100PD Classic doesn't need much doing to it as it is in A1 condition already.

Think it must be the time of year... When I was looking before christmas there were plenty of non-gs airheads about.

S/hand spares also seem to be getting thinner on the ground.. I've been looking for a mono frame for my next project and they just simply seem to have vanished!

There might be 4 g/s owners who can't be bothered when me subs expire..


I've only got 2.5 g/s's and 5 other airheads.

my '93 R80GS has been for sale here for about 6 months with little interest, I was hoping to pass it on and to acquire a G/S but no luck so far.
Just have to offroad the R75/6 again.

Sorry Rob, but when I'm sitting here after 1am, thinking of ways to kill Tuned, I think it's time to call it a day, the feckers done nothing but wind and chip at me all day ....

"O" what fun it must be in the mods room .....................

I`ve seen more Airheads..and especially g/s or GS ones...on the road through the last few months than any time previously.

I`m thinking that you aren`t seeing too many for sale as people are holding on to them....and I reckon I`m not the only 'Luddite' not impressed by (and not wanting) a bike festooned with electronic doodahs,fuel injection and wrapped in plastic panels.
Similarly,this country`s current view of even slightly exceeding a speed limit as a worse social crime than anything else has, I`m sure , lead to an increasing demand and desire for bikes that are totally enjoyable within the speed limits.
Hence my buying and thoroughly enjoying my Triumph Scrambler and the Enfield Woodsman.


P.S.

Proff......get a grip.
You got Moderated.
So what.
The Mods did what they`re meant to do.

Wind yer neck in and stop fecking sulking,fer chrissakes.

What he said.

In Adelaide there was a advert every month or so for airheads , running or not, 650s, anything considered.

It was a trading company who was shipping them over to New Zealand.

They were offerinng fair money for what they were after, much more than any of the dealers would have offered, if they were interested.

Cleaned out all the cheapies and tatty bikes and moved the bottom of the market from $2000 - to $4000-, so it wasnt all bad.

The mystery here is what happened to all the Velos- at one time Adelaide had two dealers and the club 150 members but right now they have trouble rustling up half a dozen bikes .

 

[Colt]

wasn't there was one on here recently
