A collector who buys a rare and expensive watch doesn't necessarily need to know what time it is.

True, though he'll wind it up and look at the hands to see if it holds time occasionally, same as an exotic classic motorcycle owner doesn't own it to ride to work but it should be fired up, run well and be ridden occasionally.
Just my 2p :-X

As I started part of this explosion. Great to a inject a lively discussion. Thought I'd just say that with four bikes I spend vastly more time cleaning than riding. And certainly more time rebuilding.
And yes rare bikes are being pushed as investments, fact. Not that I believe most Hondas qualify, but the one for sale may. Painting/works of art?/cars/watches/star wars bits/pop stuff/everything over 40 years old.
Down in the New Forest last year I was pleased to see a Brough Superior chug by with a load of other vintage stuff on it's way to Sammy Miller. But probably most never run and the prices are sky high because of speculation.
Just like the recent tragic fire in London where it transpires that large numbers of luxury flats just down the road are not for living in.
The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed, Gandhi.
