In my humble opinion he has it wrong.... You can still buy functional 60s Triumphs for under 10K and fabulous Triumphs for 20k.

Collectible?? A bike in the 60s for $1000.00 is now worth 10x that is in good condition. Adjusting for inflation and looking at 8k for a new one it went up 20% using todays money.

Its a line to sell a bike :-) to an unsuspecting buyer.

Motorcycles have less value than a mutual fund or money market over time. Far less.
