Money talks, cash shouts!

Indeed it does and no more so than in the world of classic and future classic motorcycles. This month Jim Lindsay tests his Ducati 996 Biposto for us. Now, back in January 2014 we tested the original 916 model and said you could get an early one for £3500, probably not any more. But look at this picture… you can’t argue that this is a classic – and now a very usable one. Now go check the free ads at the back of the mag and you’ll see it’s up for sale for £5500. With the work that’s gone into it, it’s worth it… What things are worth is very important to us here at CMM – and doubtless to you guys too. We see that the real cheapie classic is probably on its way out, which is why we will be bringing you our new CMM Marketplace section from the November issue. In it, we want to give you the real cost of our flashy core classics, worthy of an investment, all the way down to the ‘meat and two veg’ bikes that can be bought and run on much less wonga. And the coming classics too… This month I’ve been knocked out by £7000 Honda Gold Wings (there’s one in our free ads) and the prospect of exotica like the Benelli Tornado from £2500… Prices are on the up so it’s better than money in the bank…
