The Auction Game
You can have any one of these, what you having and why?

I'm drawn to this Hardly...
https://www.bonhams.com/auction/28184/p ... 42wla7171/
I can just imagine pootling along in my open face id with my shades on and some facial hair, watching the knickers dropping of every lady I passed...
I'm quite surprised by the estimate on the MH900. I thought they'd be worth a lot more, I'm sure they were more than that new...

Re: The Auction Game
I'd have this - it looks cool & it might be fun for a gentle sunday afternoon.
I know nothing about them however!

Re: The Auction Game
£9-11k for a 2003 Ducati 999S feels like a lot, but I freely admit I have no idea how much they are 'normally'.
I'm having this lovely green Guzzi though.

Re: The Auction Game
I missed the Brit era,so all those old vintage bikes have little allure for me.
I'd bid a few quid on the Yam.

Re: The Auction Game
It's odd,I suppose. I had a Z1 when I was 19 and I'm done there. Don't want another one. I think it's the 70s bikes I didn't own that blow my skirt up.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 8:41 pm I had you down for this...

Kawa triples are the one prime example. Having said that,I did own one of those RD350s

Re: The Auction Game
This one for me:
https://www.bonhams.com/auction/28184/p ... 72-310191/
And not just cos it's mega-expensive; this is the limited edition racing version of a bike I used to own. Well, OK not exactly but close. I used to own a Honda CB77 (305cc). This race bike is a CR72, the posh relative of the roadgoing 250cc CB72. I probably wouldn't ride it, just warm it up on sunny mornings to annoy/deafen the neighbours

That Guzzi was the one that stood out for me too. And KFB's Harley - although it's probably a cunt to kickstart.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 8:22 pm £9-11k for a 2003 Ducati 999S feels like a lot, but I freely admit I have no idea how much they are 'normally'.

I thought that the early Le Mans was the desirable Guzzi not the V7

Re: The Auction Game
I have never really got the old classic bike thing with 1940's Harleys or 1960's Triumphs so i skim past a lot of the bikes on this page. Apart from the Ducati MH900 already popped up or the Z1 nothing stood out to me apart from the ex race bikes
Might be a bit sad but i would really love these going back to when i first started riding ....rode the Turbo as a demo bike when i borrowed a mates license for a demo day at a local shop when i was still on a provisional
or this, just because its a little 2T pocket rocket thing ....doubt i would fit on it very well though

Re: The Auction Game
This cos it's my family name and I'll never be able to afford one, so this'll do and red ones are more fasteren
Or this cos it's my favourite Ducati

Re: The Auction Game
I like the military Harley. Not sure how much use it'd get but it's nice too look at.

Re: The Auction Game
I like naked bikes and I like Italian twins so it would be this
Added bonus would be I wouldn't get a load of old duffers mithering me about it wherever I parked up

Not only that I'm not going to buy it, I doubt I could ride it even if I did buy it. I'd need to lose a chunk of weight and some height first. But lovely to look at.
