The Vintage stuff will eventually rise,alot of people had them in their youth ,thats why alot of them are out there.
Right now JohhnyB your formula is correct!
The differents is with vintage cars a mature buyer can still sit in a seat and drive and take the wife.
The mature bike buyer ,has a harder time justifying the purchase,wife wont ride on it ,he maybe not as alert or physically able to ride.
So that leaves the market open to a smaller segment,which is young, out of that group, you have struggling college students or affluent ones that tend to buy new bikes.
The older guys may love it but they wont buy it.
So as in vintage cars, the only thing that saves it, are movies that feature the car as a star, like .Gone in sixty seconds did for the Mustang with ELEANOR.Or the "Italian Job" did for vintage mini coopers and Lambo Muiras.
So to get the young affluent into buying them we just have to wait, until they come on the radar screen, by .a. this group and other cafers showing them on the street creating desire for them.
b.exposer vintage racing
c.a Movie or video game game featuring a good one.
Thats why there needs to be more on the street,the more attention they get, the more they will creep up.
Its really why ,I dont like to see them restored, most look like a goofy shoe when stock .
But look mean and mechanical as Cafeinated(thats what gets attention)
So Hopefully I will see you all at the "MOVIES"..nn"Hey!! How much are these raisonettes ? 8 bucks!! For a box of Raisonnettes......"
