RESULTS: Two Stroke race replicas coming up at auction in my hometown on New Yea

[Yamanatic]

Finally happened last week in Chattanooga; a good racer/mechanic friend of mine was there to buy, but came home empty handed.

For the most part, the 2T's were non-runner display/parts bikes missing lots and needing rebuilds. The NS400 was locked up and many parts including exhaust and engine covers were missing.

He almost won the Lawson #21 bodywork - on close inspection and comparison with period pictures, he deemed it was genuine and from the 1983 Daytona bike. Someone else did too.

That's a bummer that the bikes were in such poor condition. Hope they went cheap.

Prices are posted in the link - the IMO too-high 2T prices were more for running streetable bikes than clapped out racers. The 4-bangers went cheap though; it's where the market seems to be trending.

I'm not seeing it...?
I opened your link but not seeing bikes anywhere

Didn't show for me either, but I typed "motorcycle' in the search field and all the stuff popped up

And yes, the market is down. Last week's Mecum Vegas was a good indicator of the slide

I tried clicking the link above and the bikes show up well down the page with prices; there is lots of other stuff in the auction to get past. More results of the racer lots on page three - nothing on page one.

I went to the Vegas auction and the 2T's seemed to hold their own, especially the twins and multis like the Gamma for $36.5K and the RZ500 for $36.3, both posting the highest prices for their brands. When they crossed the block many cards went up, not just a couple deep pockets like many of the more expensive bikes.

Definitely an aging crowd - I felt kinda young there, and I'm not...
