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 1995. 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. Printed in a handy pocket-size, this is the perfect companion to have with you at the next motorcycle auction or when you find that rare specimen in the farmer's barn. Just one insight gained from this price guide on your next sale or purchase will earn back many times the book's cost.
