I guess the reserve price is not an easy calculation especially at the back end of the year - it also depends on how much you have paid for the bike initially and subsequently your restoration costs.If it's a case of moving it on so you can fund another project I have an odd but (I think) realistic way of looking at it. Add up all your restoration costs and halve the figure then add that to what you paid for it - that would be my reserve price. I would have thought Bonhams would give you some guidance on the right level of reserve if you ask them.
Having absolutely no insight whatsoever to the UK versus the rest of the word position, I’m still unclear as to the argument surrounding the UK versus ‘import’ cost/value argument. It’s my understanding that all Hondas of this marque are Japanese Exports and some simply eventually in the UK via other countries…the USA for example. Judging by some of the UK bikes I’ve seen the imports have survived much better. Yes they may have subtle styling differences, but they are essentially the same product!Surely the bikes should be evaluated on appearance and quality alone, not the countries through which they have travelled. Mines a Japanese export that’s finally arrived in the UK via the USA and thank goodness it did, judging by some of the rusted heaps I’ve seen toted as ‘genuine’ UK barn find.Genuinely, some insight to the concept would be appreciated.Mischievously yours💥🤪🌪💀
It's obviously a guessing game we are playing here, so here's my two penneth worth.A reserve of £5000.The lower the reserve, the more chance of it selling.
