The vintage motorcycle market is alive and vibrant, with
more and more enthusiasts buying and selling vintage bikes -
some for investment and some for pure enjoyment. This annual
Guide includes comprehensive data for dozens of brands from
the U.S. and around the world, from Ace to Yankee. It covers
all models for the years 1901 through 1996. Designed by
enthusiasts for enthusiasts, the Guide opens with an
overview of which bikes are hot and which are not, with
commentary by vintage motorcycle experts on why prices are
changing as they are. It also includes a guide to show how
each price grade is defined and how to recognize which grade
a particular bike belongs in. Prices are derived from actual
sales between knowledgeable enthusiasts and are given for
six quality grades, ranging from rat-bike to like-new.
Unlike price guides used by insurance companies to establish
motorcycle values, this Guide is based on actual purchase
prices tallied from recent auctions and major motorcycle
exchange meets.
