    Rich, that was a really nice "S" and $12,000 is a good price for it.

    The 82 Katana 1000 went for $14,000 I think, watched it but forgot already.

      David,
      That's a good chunk of change for a Kat, yes? I don't watch them much but it seems from what I have seen 14k is a high number for one.

        Yep, my thoughts too Vmass.

          edit: forgot about the seller's premium of 10%. Add another $250 and now you are at $3150 for a $2500 bike. (if I am reading this right)
          Plus sales tax and getting it home...

            $20,260 for a Kawi H2, and 27k for a 73 Norton Commando. Another H2 was 14,300. My jaw dropper was an 85 FJ1100 for 12.1k

              Believe me I tried to buy another Cooley at 5K but I believe the gig is up and buyers are aware of their value now.

                Wednesday prices were reasonable but Thursday and Friday brought out the big buyers and I believe prices were up 30% from last year. Freakin Trump he’s ruined the vintage market with the good economy😆

                  You just caught us sleeping. Cooleys have been bringing twice what you paid last year, for a long time.

                    It's about time the S models brought in what many of us have always hoped they'd bring. That one that sold for 12G's was in unbelievable condition. So few left in that kind of shape and originality. The dash area alone was stunning. The case savers were the only part of it I would have removed before the sale. As practical as they are..they look kinda wimpy on what's supposed to be a racer replica super bike..haha..

                      Yes I did and was really surprised that no one out bid me at 5K. I knew the bike was worth much more than that.
                      BTW, the guy I sold it to on eBay resold it for $16,500 with Wes Cooley’s signature on it.

                        Didn't you sell it to that guy for $16,000?

                          Good to see these prices on all old stuff. If people keep hacking them up it will make them worth more! Kinda like a 401k in the garage...lol
