“What my father / grandfather or the doctor drove or what I dreamed of as a child”. Or of course: priceless objects that you can only dream about. Or "Something very expensive to show the world how successful I am." But then of course we are not talking about enthusiasts ...
There is an interesting trend going on: Enthusiasts or collectors who are now 70 + are starting to finish some collections left and right. This results in a growing range of motorcycles that simply could not be found there because their limited number was already 'stuck' with enthusiasts.
The tension only grows when that type of specimen is offered from an inheritance. Survivors are often brainwashed for decades about the value of such a collection / car or motorcycle. This results in very stiff asking prices. For which the pieces are not sold.
The price picture is now, partly due to the crisis with which our rulers are trying to force us into slavery, yet friendly.
So keep an eye on the advertisements. Because your dreams can be less deceptive than current politics.
