I have the opportunity to buy an old British based "bobber" It has a Triumph Thunderbird 650 engine in a 1955 frame which I believe to be Triumph. The bike is restored to a high standard and is ready to ride, however it is a "bobber" as opposed to standard Thunderbird. Pricewise it may be between £3,500 - £5000. I am wondering if these type of bikes (bobbers) hold their value or are just fashionable at present.
A local bike shop also has a BSA 650 "chopper" style bike for sale with extended forks - a real midlife crisis bike. This is only £3000 and needs recommissioning. I would rather put money into a bike rather than a bank as its a bit nicer to look at but am conscious of lacking enough knowledge to know if these are bikes worth a punt.
Any thoughts gratefully accepted.
