Anyone see that episode? About 3 Trail 70's, a Z50, a YZ (not sure of year, maybe 80cc), some Kawi's, and an XR75. The 75 looked clean but they spent the segment focused on the Z and the CT70's. Not sure if they XR was part of the package. Looked like a great collection. They offered $900 for the Z, glad the seller turned them down.

I thought Rick would give him the extra $100 for the Z50 . You could tell he was gonna keep it for himself and not sell it.

That so called "expert" was significantly low on all his values which I think threw Rick off. $16,000 seemed a bit high for the lot, but $10-12,000 would have been a great lot price. Hold on to them for another 20-30 years and probably double your money. Those bikes are good investments when kept near OEM condition.

Yeah the Count(Kount?) i think was way off, he should stick to things he really is an expert in. Just like the time Rick the restoration guy said the Indian mini was worth $5K. I remember those as a kid, but no one I know who collects the old stuff thinks it was worth anything near that (barring the rich Barrett Jackson types who have to have it at any price).

I was hoping they would have looked at the XR or the YZ. Maybe they weren't for sale.
