  • Instead of investing in stocks we like to invest our money in collector bikes. We bought these motorcycles thinking that we can sell each one of them higher than we paid for them. Our collection ranges from vintage classics, street bikes, scooters and dirt bikes. The value and prices of vintage motorcycles keep going up and up. Did anyone see what a Kawasaki Z1 900 went for at Mecuum Auctions this week? 🤯

    It`s so nice to see two people so in love not only with each other but also to share with us your love in creating something unusual and interesting from vehicles of a bygone era, you both have given hours upon hours of infomative entertainment to many viewers, thank you both for letting us into your lives.....ps a visit to Jim is always amusing and adds that little extra entertainment, he`s such a nice guy.

    Motorcycles are my passion, and riding them is what I love. But, if you want to display them like you describe, I would enjoy seeing the result. And yes, against the white walls, they would be well shown. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your and Jolenes' lives as you do. It's honest and true. Your excitement about what you do and Jolenes' amazing camera work really make the videos what they are. You continue to inspire we who enjoy them. Cheers!

    Chad and Jolene, I am a retired Police Chief, One of the most fun and rewarding parts of my career was when I was a Motor officer in Grants Pass Oregon USA and was riding a 1976 ZIP 900 cc Police Kawasaki, Fastest Police motorcycle I ever rode. The 1000 police Kawasaki Motors were not as fast and the Harleys, and BMWs were not as fast. My Police motor officer riding career included teaching two week motor officer training schools for the Oregon Board of Police Standards and Training for @ ten years. Loved riding that 900cc Kawasaki so much that I bought it and restored it, and it is on Display with other Grants Pass emergency vehicles in Grants Pass, Oregon. I never miss your show!

    I’m a bike rider and I love your collection. I was a kid when the BSA and Triumphs ruled and then the Honda 750 came along to blow the English bikes away. The Z900 was even better. Didn’t handle well but the power was amazing. Huge following. It’s great to see so many bikes in such good condition.

I was just gonna write it would be awesome to see all these bikes up in the air ( off the floor ) like an inside catwalk all the way around, then @Chad mentioned the racking system.. lol.. y’all are knocking it out of the park!! Great job to BOTH of you!! Stay blessed!! Still wondering about the car under the cover.. lol.. Shape looks like a Camaro, trans-am , iroc-z style.. but not sure. I must have missed an episode or something. I don’t remember that one I don’t think?? Have a great rest of your weekend @Jolene and @Chad !!

    Hi guys, I’m in the Uk and a proper motorcycle fan,
    The Z1 is worth $20k as it stands, the handlebars are correct but fitted upside down to give it the cafe racer look.
    The Honda CB750 is and M, a really iconic bike. Your right the first year and the forerunner to the Japanese conquering the US and UK. As it sits I would say slightly more than the z1!
    I’ve worked on most of the bikes you have and understand global values very well.
    I also am I qualified motorcycle master tech, so if I can help you, just ask.
    Thanks for the videos.

  • @carmelfalshaw8481
    @carmelfalshaw8481 Год назад +2

    If you get the Z1 fully refurbed well it will be worth more than 2 maybe 3 of the best bikes you have in your collection at least, I sold one of mine which was a 1973 Z1b excellent condition full history original everything for £25,000 five years ago I kept the other one same year which I bought from new and for me it's priceless I have been offered £30,000 and you are spot on its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it but trust me Z1z are what people want the world over so good luck my friend

  • @rjwarwick3118
    @rjwarwick3118 Год назад +27

    The Z1 that sold at Mecum was a 1973, first year of production. Yours is a 74. Still a collectible bike but will always be a bit less than the 73. They made some Z1’s in the last half of 1972, those are the cats meow.

      It has the wrong carbs on it for a Z1, the carbs on the bike are webbed but the carbs on the early Z1’s were not. So it’s a ‘bits-a’, bits of this and bits of that.

    • @rjwarwick3118
      @rjwarwick3118 Год назад +1

      Good eye. I checked out some of the results of that auction. The prices kinda shocked me. But most of the big money Japanese bikes were low mile, over restored bikes. Polished more than stock and flawless paint. But still amazing auction!!

    Hey Chad and Jolene, I am a big fan of you two. The idea for your motorcycle going against the wall. Why don't you have a shelf that rides on one cylinder, that takes the bike up and stays up and any time you need to clean them press the button to bring it down to its shelf then press the button to send it up and locked in its position. It is just an idea.

    Yes, I also like motorcycles. 👍 There are some nice ones, like sidecar or chopper and others.
    I drove small mopeds for 4 years, then at 18 I got my driving license and I discovered that the car is much more comfortable, safe, spacious... and moreover it is better when it rains, snows and is cold. 😉

    That ZRX1200R in green, w/the Muzzy exhaust, is super-nice. I have a 2001 in blue/purple/black that's a lot rougher than yours, but still great fun to ride. The aftermarket seat is a fantastic improvement over the original, but it's nice to have the original seat, they're hard to find. Very nice collection you've got.

    Can’t believe what that Kawasaki brought at auction. That’s insane. Your absolutely right Chad…it only takes two bidders with money to go head to head to buy that bike. Obviously that bike was worth more to those two bidders than the bike itself 👍 But that helps out the entire bike community who owns a bike like that👍

    Hi, when you all get to the motorcycle sets. I would be honored to do the leather work on them. I will do all the work for free. Not to get my name out there but because I believe in what you're doing. I'm new at the other industry but I believe I can do really good work for you. Don't need recognition. I just want to do it because I believe in what you're doing. I'm a welder by trade. I live in Indiana Indianapolis. You can contact me through this media or just I watch your show every day so just get a hold of me. Thank you very much. Thanks for the content. I'm so proud of your efforts and that goes for both of you. I know it's hard. I know it's a long hours, but thank you so much for the entertainment and education

    Used to ride and back in the day. I bought a new Honda GL1000 in Berkley CA and drove it cross county to CT. I had 40,000 when I sold it after I restored it. I lost my shirt on it but would have made a ton of money if it was an HD Glide.
    Get your license and ride it's a great feeling of freedom. The air has so many smells as you riding through the county side and look at the memories you will have.
    Your collection is cool. Keep working on it, but no pun, enjoy the ride of life!

    6:00 Sidecar bike is Chinese Cj750 , which was produced in great numbers , and shares its origins with 1938 Bmw R 71 , so you will often come across lot of guys putting bmw emblems on their soviet /or chinese iron steeds , just to make them look more appealing .

    Nice collection, oddly enough the ZRX and the YZ400 are 2 of the higher dollar bikes you have there. Great find on the Z1. The one at Mecum was owned by Mike Konapaki from Ontario, he took 6 bikes, from the 73 Z1 to a 76 Z1R, he has 68 bikes at home, he's been drag racing kawasakis for ever.

    Nice collection if you like Japanese bikes. I thought the Jawa is a neat bike to have in your collection. The 1200 Sporty chop is cool, although it will never be worth big $. Nice episode as it was different. Love your fabrication and Jolene’s camera work! You two should get bike licenses, I have been riding for over 55 years.

    Great video ! I ride a Harley ( and have a1956 just sitting as well ) and have always enjoyed motorcycles and their history. ( especially Vincents and Brough's Superiors). We had a dealership back in the day and sold KZ 900's brand new. It is almost hard to imagine that auction price, seems like some people have too much money. Love that race car. Keep it up Chad and Jolene; that new building is outstanding. Thank you.

      All those bikes would'nt even a make a down payment on a nice Brough Superior. Maybe a Vincent. My grandfather rode a Brough Superior and my grandmother rode a Crocker, she was 4'10" and would'nt ride on the back of hubbys bike a true liberated woman back in the day , I think Crocker was built in her home town in Pasadena California.

      Rode a Bonneville 750 back and forth to college in the mid 80’s. Loved that bike, except when in rained. If it started to rain I’d have to run to get it started before it got too wet. It didn’t like starting when wet. Loved the torque it had. Was awesome passing cars between like 40 and 60mph! It would stomp a Honda 750 up to around 60.

I don't know what you would take for the red one and I'm not sure how to get it to Tucson without breaking the bank. But it does bring back fond memories or riding them in southern California back in the day.

  • @willydaunting1462
    @willydaunting1462 Год назад +2

    Some of those older Jawas have an odd kickstart/shift. After kick starting, you push the kickstart lever into the motor and it flips around to become the foot shift pedal. Also, be careful with that BMW R71. It could be a Chang Jiang 750 or even a Russian M72. Both are copies of the BMW and a lot of guys made fake BMWs out of them. Changs have a serial number on the frame under the seat on the left side. The M72 has the number on the left frame rail, towards the rear, over the plunger, just like BMW. But on the BMW, it would have a little BMW roundel stamped both in front and back of the serial number. The chang has a 5 pointed star, both in front of the number and behind the number.

Same company made in 40th motorcycles for Pope’s Swiss guard (white with gold stripes).

    Nice collection Chad! I dunno, 42k for a perfect Z1 is pretty steep. Your CB750 in perfect original condition is worth in the 10k range, The KZ1000 would bring 12k probably. A lot of resto though! If you'd ever consider parting with a Kawi 750, I might be interested!

    The race car should have bigger size wheels IMHO, something off a truck maybe 22-25 inches in size, just to make it look proportional, love your collection if I was ever able to go to Canada I would definitely like to catch up and see your cars.

    Wow, nice collection of bikes! You should build a loft and some kind of lift so you can store your bikes upstairs and have more room for your cars. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes I did like that. Thanks. I sometimes wonder how I got so much stuff around me. But I keep reminding myself it's because I have worked days nights weekends and 7 days a week like you.

    IMO it’s a great Collection of Motorcycles , and i honestly think that it’s a smart Investmentbfor people your age , especially buying them in the manner and shape you are doing so many of those Motorcycles are ones that hold a special place in my Age Groups hearts and we have the funds and Love to pay high money for the ones that are preserved and complete being stored inside is a big Key alot of those bikes do sadly sit outside and just get to the point it’s not worth the investment to bring hem back BTW the one you thought was the fastest of the Day wasn’t I beleive that era the Kawasaki Ninja held that title for many years of that time ,i rode one and Man were they fast i had trouble keeping the front wheel on the pavement because i didn’t even ride it like you are supposed to ,laying over the Tank Legs stretched out behind you it was the first Crotch Rocket !

    The bike at the auction is a 73, FIRST year, restored by a gentleman in Ontario. He actually had 3 bikes at Mecum this year i think, 2 73's and 1 74. He does impeccable work. An x motorcycle drag racer.
    It has original or NOS parts only, any repop stuff like pipes etc would make it much less as far as value.
    Your 74 would be worth, maybe half AFTER a restoration. At best.
    The 73's are getting out of site for sure. I have had several of them and kick my ass for selling. I just picked up a 78 KZ1000 and may do a 73 clone as a keeper.

    If you ever find a Yamaha RD400, from 1976, BUY IT! It was my first ever new vehicle buy and it turned a classic , cult King-Killer. I remember very well beating the pants off of many bikes much larger displacement than that 400cc 2 stroke. Ah, I love the smell of 2-stroke in the morning. 👍🇨🇦. That Jawa/CZ is a great old bike, had me a 250cc CZ dirt bike. You have a nice few European bikes there.

    So Chad, we have met a few times in the past. I was Bunk Spencers’s bass player. Lyndsay Campbell and I are friends. Didn’t know you had an interest in motorcycles. So, soon I will be offering two vintage and very rare bikes for sale to make some room here in Windsor. 1969 Kawasaki SS 650 Commander with plenty of spare parts. Also, a 1966 Harley Davidson Police special Electroglide. Know anyone who may be interested?

    My folks bought me a used Kawasaki dirt bike, for my 12th birthday, back in the 1970s.
    Once I learned to ride it, they couldn't keep me off of it.
    And since we had a few hundred acres, I had plenty of room to ride.
    I never owned a street bike.
    But I rode a few that belonged to friends.

    Mate of mine has only one arm, he modified it so he could ride it easier. Swapped the throttle to the other side and did something with the clutch lever. Long time ago!! Cool collection man.

    It would be cool if they made some kinda racks to display your cool older motorcycles. I know I've seen something like that in other motorcycles on display in other building's. I don't know much about motorcycles other they look cool. I should no more because I live in California and Motorcycles are everywhere.
    Anything from junkers to very nice Hardly/ Davidson

    Mr. Chad,since you design out of this world cars. I thought you might be interested in seeing what a ( 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom 1 ) looks like. It is a beauty of its own. You may appreciate it after seeing it. It may give you some ideas on your next out of this world design car. I had a friend send me a picture of one. Doyle
