It's Very....
.... rare for these to be, in the strictest sense, a good financial investment.
Rebuilding, restoring, modifying, customizing, cafeing, etc., leads to a good portion of your money being thrown away. As a return rich "trust" for your dollars, it is a very poor financial builder. The cost of parts, man hours and hourly wages for work done (even if done by yourself, your time is money and accountable), ad infinitum.
Except when....
You love these bikes. Whether the stock classic 4 cylinder beauty in mint condition, ready to eat up the miles of asphalt ribbon calling to you and waiting.... or the rebuilt one that you've sweated and bled for, worked on long hours late into the night, and reached deep into your pockets for because you love the classic lines, performance, and reliability that other bike brands envy....
You can ride with pride for what you've got and what you've done.
