Got an 05 still in the crate and both Zook Carmichael bikes in the crate. The 250 smoker n the 450 banger. It'd take a lot to remove them from my property. That being said Newman has us covered

Guy has a cream puff of a honda...depends on how bad a person wants one....i myself would get a 2001 -2007 CR250 motor and put it into a 2013 -2016 CRF250 frame with that 5500....really though if its a clean as it looks could bring 4k....those hondas arent easy to come by in that condition....same with the kawis.....if you really want one you will pay......or you can buy something beat up and spend 4k in a hot second building it.....least his bike is pretty great condition....i myself think the hondas dont handle nearly as good as the 2004-2008 Rm250s nor the 2006-17 Yz250...or the Ktm250sx 2013 to present...the kawis and older hondas were just ok in the handling department...but in the end 2strokes are a damn goodtime...doesnt matter what your riding or what you paid....the ear to ear smile u keep is priceless......

I often wonder what real works bikes sell for.....I would think Honda would want that back but maybe they have enough of their former works bikes. I know why these bikes are sacred to us 50-60 yr olds, but do they mean all that much to a 20-30 year old? Does the value drop when the generation who seen it, no longer exist?
I'm 27 and would love to have a bike like this in the very middle of my mancave one day. Value of exotic and extraordinary machines never drops.

I had it and Lackeys GP bike here at the same time. After all these years the chances of two of them sitting together next to each other was pretty slim...and very cool.

Better buy out east then, way too high. 2017, New smokers are $7200 otd. ,And leftover 16 model 2 strokes even cheaper.

I have a friend here in Texas who would probably take that deal as well. If you are selling and JWACK doesn't buy, send me a PM.

hansens works bike is the crown jewel in my eyes for vintage wants. that bike is the single reason for the production rule we have today...its that bad ass. and if you took it out on the track today...it wouldn't look out of place. Thats how far ahead of its time it was.

I purchased this '01 250 for less than $2k last year. When I saw that it was all stock, with the exception of the expansion chamber and silencer, I got pretty randy.

Yes very cool. The open bike displacements on the factory bikes was interesting in the 70s.

What's the story on the other one. Looks like a 83 ? Is that one of yours ? What's a spare subframe set a guy back these days. I would think you wouldn't want to loop one of those out and walk it back to the box van with a totalled subframe and have to explain it to RD.

Definitely no limit Formula 1 bikes. It would be a privilege to clean a dirty filter on one of those.

5k all day for that 07. The guy knows what he has and some people don't know what things are worth.

It's new! But because they still make the Yamaha it's not worth what a "new" 03 Honda or Suzuki or kawi is. I would say a cool 3750. But I could be all wrong.

Jay Leno wasn't around during the roaring 20's but he's still willing to pay millions (10's of millions sometimes) for each one of his classic French cars.

The value will always be there. Just like the old lever actions. May not be as many into them now, but there will always be some. I just sold a model 94 that would damn near buy me that cr250.
For sure. Winchester lever action rifles are still in very high demand. I have a my grand father's 94, and a couple of 9422's. I'd like to add an 1892 and 1873 to my collection, but the prices are sky high for very nice examples. I know of a mint 1873 and a 1892 for sale for $12K each. An Original 1866 Henry is for sale for $25K. Original 1 of 1000 1873's are typically in the six figure range and the nicest examples are up to $500K .
