Sold a cbx 1000 for £500 to me mate. Sold a rd lc 350 for £800 after binning it,still picking gravel out me knees years later. Sold an immaculate Honda 550 for a grand. Sold a pristine fzr genesis to pay me tax bill. Wot a cock I've been 😂😂
We know the feeling. RGV250’s, NSR250’s, RS125 Honda race bikes. All sold for beer tokens 🤦🏼♂️ We have also been colossal cocks. If only hindsight was taught in schools….
Got a samurai 350 in mint condition stolen and 3 years later a cb350 4 pot in showroom condition stolen at my house all under lock and in storage. Never heard of them again.
We thought so too. A bike is only worth what someone is prepared to pay and I suppose it does depend on who is in the room bidding at that particular time however, we were surprised by the prices and even the ones that never made the reserve.
Many years ago, riding in Italy, I had a slight crash, buckled the front wheel (Honda 250RS). I had to ride all the way to Lyon to get it fixed. A mechanic rebuilt the wheel, fitted a new front disc (which I went off and bought) and charged me nothing. It was Korky Ballington's mechanic, when he raced in France.
We are not sure where those bikes ended up but talking to a chap in the know, he seamed to think that the American market was still healthy. Appreciate the comment 👍
Also, the people buying these top dollar bikes as investments maybe getting a better return elsewhere now or just nervous as whether to tie up cash in an asset?
£650! Oh god! We constantly put ourselves through the distress of looking up the prices of bikes/cars now that we let go for buttons. We should start a help group. 👍
@@raceandretro so hears the deal with how and what being into bike’s mental to me over the last 35 years , as a builder would I ever chat with a barrister or a doctor at any event if bikes wasn’t involved, no , and just ignore thease stupid haters with comments that are negative , keep it up , top work your trying and real people into bikes will love it , ( owo2 not r7 lol lol , imagine if I was negative and put you right , lol people thease days fgs)
@@shaun5313 thanks a lot chief. That’s a great thing to hear especially coming from a true bike fan. Very much appreciated. We don’t mind the haters too much, often our replies get taken down which makes us chuckle. Thanks again for the support 👌👍
You don’t know who Anthony Gobert was? Do a little homework before saying no one knew who he was. His nickname was the GoShow for good reason. Sadly, he passed recently.
I’m not sure how you got the impression we were knowledgeable but as you can see we have obviously mislead you 😂 well done on the 17 points! We were a disgrace on the RG!
@LeeTillbury no, well, not intentionally! What makes you think that? We were using the program guide prices as a reference point 🤷♂️ Admittedly, we were all (including the guide price!) well off for the RG 500 😅

Sold a 74 Kawasaki H2C 750 for £3000. I also feel very silly

Good to see what people will realy pay not the silly prices been ask on ads

RG500 was £15,000 all day long.
I was shouting at you on part 1 video.
Should of shouted louder 😂 How bad were we. 🤦🏼♂️

That’s a great story! Thanks so much for sharing it 🙏👍
Great vid as usual lads
Thanks mate!!
Bike magazine was great...speeding with Mr X and Ogri you're talking bollocks 😂😂
Nah! Performance Bikes or Fast Bikes all the way! 😂 we do talk bollocks though 👏🏻👍
£950 for that ZX-7R is mad.
Can’t even get a pint for that in London.
seems so , my zzr1100 is only worth a grand now
Will you be going to the next bonham auction in October?
Yes, if they'll have us back!! 😂
Any ideas on where these went in the world? Keen to see where the real money in bikes is
We are not sure where those bikes ended up but talking to a chap in the know, he seamed to think that the American market was still healthy. Appreciate the comment 👍
@@raceandretro bit of a u-turn compared to the 00’s, bet they’re buying all the 70’s Jap stuff back DK imported😆
Looks like ppl are watching their spending
It would seem that way to us too. Appreciate the comment 👍

Lots of Wrexham mentions!
The Mighty Reds are the team 😊
Good fun 👌
Cheers chief! 👍👏🏻
Cant believe ye 2 did not know what RD stood for 😅, got back into bikes start of the year and picked up a 2002 yzf r 6 , 11900 km for 3000 euro
In my defence, RD's were a bit before my time!! 😅
That is not a defence! 😂
I sold an aprilia rs250 for £650 some yrs ago, and made some other depressing loses over the year's, don't wanna think about it 😢
£650! Oh god! We constantly put ourselves through the distress of looking up the prices of bikes/cars now that we let go for buttons. We should start a help group. 👍
Great video keep it up
Cheers man! The 2024 results show up this week 👍

Iconic Auctions is on at the NEC this weekend..12th
It will be interesting to see the prices at that one. 👍
@@raceandretro Got my eyes on something, but I'm keeping that to myself!
Any advice on what is the best way about getting to learn how to drive a bike I can drive everything else and I just love bikes
The best advice I can give you is- - - - never drive a bike ride it 😢
@@mickhardstaff6605 sorry about the wording
No need for apologies! Where are you based? We love bikes too and one of our team (although a racer) is thinking about finally getting a road licence.

A little bit tongue and cheek to be honest and always been terrible at homework. The dog ate it etc etc. Very sad to hear of his passing though.
got the rg bang on 16 k got the rd lc right aswell
I will ask for tips on the next one. Don’t tell the other two though. Dom. 👍👍
Just keep the bikes and ride them, pointless looking after these things for decades just to be screwed at auction.
There looks to be a small window of value for mist bikes so yeah, just ride them 👍
Are you guys supposed to be knowledgeable? 😅 I got 17 and I only started counting part way through 😊! How could you be so wrong with the rgv500?😮
I was spot on with a couple, including that RG500 :)
I’m not sure how you got the impression we were knowledgeable but as you can see we have obviously mislead you 😂 well done on the 17 points! We were a disgrace on the RG!
@@williamrae9954 fair play! 👏🏻 as you can see, we were not! 😂
@@raceandretroSo is this channel just a sham or what then?
@LeeTillbury no, well, not intentionally! What makes you think that? We were using the program guide prices as a reference point 🤷♂️ Admittedly, we were all (including the guide price!) well off for the RG 500 😅
That guy in the middle never shuts up. The other 2 guys i can listen all day. But there is no way any bike should be over 20 grand. Its stupid.
@@alanbeniston1304 love a friendly comment…from the middle guy 👍
You dudes seriously need to do some homework. A 31k RD 125?? There's literally loads of these on eBay with less miles😂😂😂
Ayup chief, have you watched part 1? The reason we featured the RD was because of sentimental value, Dom's mate had one in their teenage years. 👍
@@raceandretroNa my dude. I only watched your video because of the R7 thumbnail innit you get me😂
Boring.long winded.
I disagree, I like these relaxed style of uploads, the sort of stuff me and my mates would go on about.
just flipped through it
...and yet you watched and commented. Such a masterpiece of critique, too!
Really appreciate the support 🙏👏🏻
Thanks for the support, very funny and made us smile 👏🏻👍
None of you know anything about bikes, it's a bit embarrassing to be honest 😅
Can't even pronounce Kawasaki, Bimota or Ducati right 😄😬
😂😂😂 what a complete bell end you must be. An assumption that your sister and mother are the same person?
