Thats good news as I am looking for a cheap R69S.
Market for those should already be dead in UK, demographicaly.
MarkCR750:
Ha yes, I'm looking fwd to being 70 years old, I'll be able to afford a Kawasaki H2 triple then 👍
Greebo:
Its a good job I did not buy my bikes as an investment then.
just enjoy them for what they are.. 8)
No investment is safe or guaranteed & I can tell you i have had personal experiences to prove it... >:(.. :'(

Trigg,
What I didn't say, was that I also let a spare brand new set of 300 pipes go with the K0 that I had snapped up from Slivers when they came up for £2000 2 years ago. Doh! How d'you spell PRATT...😏😡
Now there's an investment in a particular market! 😳
A confused Nige.
Mr_Sheene:
I know that this topic is old and that may prevent me from being slaughtered, as no one may read it but what is so special about a 'UK bike'? I have been tinkering in this subject for about 25 to 30 years and have often heard people selling a bike, try to promote it as a 'Genuine UK Bike'. So what! To the best of my knowledge, no manufacturer, in any country employed anyone to walk down the line selecting the best examples for the UK. In the UK, it was more likely the export bikes would be better, especially for the lucrative US market. I know that a lot of stuff now coming from the US has a dubious history but a friend, who has a large stable of 60's Triumphs, assures me that we have no idea just how much was sold in the US, compared to Europe and especially our tiny market. On the initial subject of pricing, maybe the problem is e-bay? There are so many tales of 'victims' that people are becoming wary. I was wary but in a moment of madness got caught anyway and panicked into buying a 1970 model (my favourite). Now I don't even look at e-bay.
