CCM 350

These magnificent thumpers now rarely come up for sale and good 'uns are increasing in value. Not long ago the top price was around £5000. However, I've just seen one being advertised for £6500. The ad unfortunately didn't have a photo but I imagine its condition is not unlike this fine specimen...

Ducati Montjuich 750 F1

I was lucky enough to own a couple of Ducati F1's and a Laguna Seca back in the '80s (not at the same time though!). As with many of my old bikes I regret selling these excellent Dukes, but they weren't exactly ideal for touring and 'er indoors reckons Ducati pillion seats aren't exactly the comfiest. Anyway, I still keep an eye open for any F1's that come up for sale. Not to buy, but just to see what prices they're going for. Trouble is, they're now regarded as collectors' items so they rarely come up for sale. And when they do, they're all a bit pricey. For example, this Montjuich has just come onto the market at an asking price of £16,999. It's apparently in immaculate condition, with 20,000 miles, and has been renovated. Looks gorgeous. I'll keep doing the lottery.

Fab FireBlade

Just spotted this on eBay. A 1997 FireBlade that's only done 518 miles. Priced at a very reasonable £3995. Apparently its only owner works abroad and rarely gets time to ride the thing. Been SORNed (I presume) for 99.9% of its life. Looks good as new to me and hasn't even been run in. Bargain. And a great investment.
P.S. - Sold after just one day. Not surprising really.
