Really appreciate the comment, we are chuffed you enjoyed it🙏👍

That ladder just waiting to be knocked over onto those bikes 😢.

Tres Hombres! Wooden spoon gotta be wearing a pink tutu in a future video? Those Dukes stunning! 😍😍😍

Hola! Keefer probably won’t mind that! But yes, that could be the spoon 👍👍

[@crumblymal8479]

Luved it gotta see the outcome there were some good stuff there I couldn't possibly go there without sewing my hands in my pockets 😉👌👍now subbed

[@raceandretro]

😂 The temptations were indeed many and I don’t think we would be going to the live auction without some sort of hand restraint system. Cheers for the comment and really appreciate the sub! 👏🏻👍

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

If ANY of those bikes sell at or below your highest estimates then i'm moving to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 !! That RG500 would sell $15-20k here in the states.

[@raceandretro]

Some may surprise you and persuade you to buy a ticket, however most, including the RG were miles off our terrible guesses! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@awood12345]

I feel a few of them are going to go for a lot more. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@raceandretro]

Well it would seem that we know bugger all about bike pricing so stay tuned for the follow up and find out how bad we are! Cheers for the comment, really appreciate it 👍

[@weaselswheels5258]

@@raceandretrowhen is the follow up video? This is the first time I’ve seen your channel. What an epic selection of bikes! I personally think the rg500 will do double what you said the engine is probably worth 5k! The Troy bayliss motogp ducati I think £200k max as Rossi’s sold a few years back for £189k and Troy is no Rossi so I’m being generous and taking into account inflated prices of everything. The R7 ow02 £45k I remember when those bikes were £15k for mint examples with less than 2k on the clock. 👍

[@raceandretro]

Hi and welcome! Follow up video as soon as Keith returns back from his hols so should be out next week. I think we have completely cocked up on prices and our follow up will highlight our incompetence 😂🤦🏼‍♂️ We think you may have the RG bang on. Appreciate the comment 👏🏻👏🏻

@@raceandretro hello mate I was trying to reply to someone’s message on your comment section thread but it keeps being deleted! Any reason why?

[@raceandretro]

@@weaselswheels5258 absolutely no idea chief. Certainly no input from us. Let’s have a quick look into it now. 👍

[@MF-Racing]

Great vid lads 👍🏼

[@raceandretro]

Cheers chief, always appreciate the nice comments 👍

[@GWAYGWAY1]

Looking at those bikes and their condition, then compare the prices to what you would pay for a modern plastic fantastic bike. I would like the older one as my nice day ride.😊

[@raceandretro]

Agree completely!! We've just released the results show, so go check that out! I think the ZX-7 was the bargain of the show. Thanks for commenting, we hope you stick around with us 🍻😁

What if you could only have one of those but it had to be ridden?….to the shops!

[@chiefrocka8604]

I’ve just seen a mk2 transit today make £45,000 plus 15% vat 😂

[@raceandretro]

So some cash about then!!

@@raceandretro a mk1 escort rs2000 done over 6 figures, the ford boys are slagging off the mentality . You know the games dodgy when people into the same kinda stuff start on each other 🤣

[@raceandretro]

@chiefrocka8604 Christ! They are worth what people are prepared too pay but you see a lot of bike conversations go the same way. It ain’t worth this, it ain’t worth that, bubble will burst etc but if someone buys it then that is what it’s worth I suppose?

[@cabovermike]

Prices all over the place, (i watched the auction ) i was going to put my R7 in it but the 15% auctioneers commission put me off, american auction at mecam auctions (cycle drag YT) las vegas was an eye opener, americans seem to have money to burn,.good video R&R, Thanks,.

[@raceandretro]

We were miles off the R7 price! Can’t believe how far off we were with most of the prices. Probably a good idea to hold onto yours for a while unless you go with an overseas auction. As always, thanks for the comment and really appreciate the support. 👍🙏

[@weaselswheels5258]

@cabovermike hello buddy i may be interested in your Yamaha r7 ow02 where are you from? Let me know a bit about it if you leave a comment on one of my videos I will get in touch and hopefully we can get a deal done. Cheers mate have a good weekend 👍

[@sasapopadic384]

This man is in the bikes but he got no clue what Bimota is.....😊

[@williamrae9954]

Everyone has to watch that Gobert race...you won't have any fingernails left! That was the bike i wanted there,as Kork's Kawasaki is completely out of reach!

[@FrankWego]

They didn´t even once look at it. But 110.000 for the bike, 10.000 for parts (Euro) is a real number.

[@raceandretro]

Unfortunately, we ran out of time to look at Kork's 250. We did get some shots of it mind, so will post them as a short in the future 👍

[@williamrae9954]

@@raceandretro Iconic machine...you can buy a streetfighter kit for a Kawasaki ZX12 using a similar tank design today!

In fact, we are recording the results part to this vid next week, so will include it in that. In the meantime, check out this little tribute vid we did for Kork and the KR500 from the last auction 🤙 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXbJiomugc-JerMsi=oKjlrH7HbLg4_ob7

[@camperp195]

The rd125 was 12 hp,not 20, i wish it was when i had one in 84! Some of the guide prices on these are way off,the gamma 500 at 6 grand would be a bargain,id say at least 10k for it. I have stacks of photos of the olympia bike show in 84,they showcased the “new” honda cbr 1000 and yamaha genesis,the cbr 1000 had see through fairings on it so you could see whats underneath! If you guys want me to send you pics of them,id be happy to,if you have an e mail address as im not on social media (cos im old!😂)

[@raceandretro]

Hi buddy! You're dead right about prices being off! Especially for the RG 500! 🙈 We've uploaded a results show ( which is chaptered, so you can skip our blabbering 😅). Yeah, that would be awesome!! Send them over to [e-mail] Thanks for the comment. I hope you stick around with us 🍻👍

[@raceandretro]

To add to this (Dom), my mates definitely told me 20 bhp when we were in the pub! 😂 My pals had one each, always sounded superb. Also, the CBR1000 was my favourite bike back in the day, the slightly later model though, possibly 1990? Anyway, like Ant has said, photos would be great and thanks again 🙏👍

[@sicks6six]

I bet the XL 250 fetched good money,

[@raceandretro]

I don't think it met the reserve price in the end mate, which kinda was the theme of the day. Guide price was between £3,000 - £5,000.

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Gah that ZX7R seems so cheap! it’s almost donor bike money. Just as well they look so good 😂

[@raceandretro]

Too cheap! Bloody nice bike, don’t understand why they don’t command higher prices.

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

[@raceandretro]

Hi mate, there wasn't at this auction. But I've noticed there's a couple at this weekend's 'Iconic Auctioneers' show, at the NEC, Birmingham. Be interesting to see what they fetch! Edit: there were a mental two stroke. Many a race with our mates on RD350LC’s and RGV250’s. 👍

[@markcheetham7858]

I'd buy rg 500s all day at anything below £10,000....

[@JeffLillycrop]

I hate people who touch lean against auction cars or motorcycles for no reason. you dont own , your not buying it stop touching it

[@raceandretro]

That will be me then (Dom) Never really noticed it before but perhaps thinking about it, I have always been a bit of a leaner. I will try and stand a lot straighter, more erect, like a stiff cock in future videos. Failing that, I will definitely buy the next one I lean on. Scouts honour. You must stand very straight…. Note: add ‘hate’ to the held for review words.

[@johnsolimine1164]

A room full of worn out junk....what a deal

[@leequigley2077]

Really? Classic stuff I will admit though..the R7 is beautiful but needs the race kit..people were putting R1 engines in em once

[@johnsolimine1164]

I wish you were around when I sold Ginger Malloy's water cooled TSS 250 for $550... I could have asked $25000@@leequigley2077

[@raceandretro]

The R7 has zero miles so hardly worn out? Maybe if it had 354,563 miles on it..it would be worn out then I guess.

[@jimstartup2729]

Let's see how the modern bikes are after 20+ years these bikes were built as very good bikes. Most of the gains in modern era come from electronic wizardry.. but if that packs in... It's virtually shot. If you haven't ridden any of these I think your perspective is off
