Market commentary

One of the good things about collecting motorcycles is that even when paying 40% over the high estimate the amount in question is just $20,000. It may not encourage parsimony, but even an extreme case of buyers remorse isnt going to be very expensive. In cars that is not always (and particularly not here at the Vintage Museum this weekend) the case.
