the attendee's of these auctions do offer me a bit of intrigue. what are the demographics of auction winners during this decade? what auction winner demographic could we suspect or anticipate in another 10, 20 or 30 years? how will machine values shift in the next 10, 20 or 30 years? what will be some factors creating these shifts in values? what will demographics of prospective buyers look like in the next 10, 20, 30 years?
another thing to contemplate, there are literally thousands, if not 10's of thousands of these 60's, 70's era Japanese motorcycles in existence. there are individual collectors with 200, 300, 400 and even more motorcycles in their possession and many of the machines are in good to excellent condition. it seems reasonably certain first year units will be more desirable and at the least hold their value if not go up in value. who will be able interested and have money to spend on these different bikes?
