That is the coolest auction format ever! I started drooling when I saw the Ariel Square 4 up for bids. That is the first bike I will buy when I strike it rich someday. ;D
There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.

Not doing what you can to make your bike ride-able during the best riding months of the year kind of defeats the purpose of owning it in the first place.

Money to be able to bid on 12 and 13, please.

The price attached to 17, the XT500, seems a bit steep. But if it's a reflection of their value I'm selling mine for way too little!

Bill, you're almost always the first guy I think of when I see something like this.  ;)

Nick, remember they are in NZ dollars, currently worth around 75 cents Canadian... and they are getting rare now which helps to keep the price up!  :o

I would say that would be a fair price here for an (obviously) pristine XT500 example... our CB750 SOHC's can fetch twice that on the local auction site.
