I was thrilled to see another one of these come up for auction! Especially as the acceptance of sport bikes as collectibles is joining the main stream collector world. No need for chrome and exposed engines any more... ... View more

Hi Scott. I've bought and sold a lot of bikes, so I have some experience in replying to this. The hot bed for classic bikes is eBay, and it has been for some time. A lot of highend bikes are on there, and even the prototype Sandcast CB750 sold on there. Project bikes also do well. Just make sure you have good keywords in your title so buyers will find the bike (for instance, if the way 99% of people spell it is KZ750 rather than "spectre 750" then spell it the common way). That'll help increase the view count, and that is what matters. If the bike is immaculate then it might be accepted by one of the online auction companies now like Bring a Trailer. That is always worth a shot. You can wing it and do a no reserve auction, but make sure your pictures are perfect and highlight the bike. Online buyers want to minimize their risk and unknown, and the best way to do this is not have photos leave anything to the imagination. ... View more

The bevel head Ducatis fall into any list of collector motorcycles, as do many more motorcycles not on this list. This list was created based off of the highest number of views on valuation tools and Hagerty policies, so that is why the Ducatis did not make the list. ... View more

@gsbeliever  Never be sorry to nitpick! It's always good to discuss. The average values above are for the whole generation. We both agree that the SL is worth more than the CL which is worth more than the CB. The SL valuation tools link has a #3 value of $3300 (https://www.hagerty.com/apps/valuationtools/1971-Honda-SL350K1_Motosport_350). The CL is $2,700 (https://www.hagerty.com/apps/valuationtools/1971-Honda-CL350K3_Scrambler_350). The CB is $2,200 (https://www.hagerty.com/apps/valuationtools/1971-Honda-CB350K3_Super_Sport_350). The same goes for the CBX, the first two years are worth more because of the lack of fairing and higher power, but buyers are actually coming on strong with the later bikes. We have recently seen some big sales, and the acceptance of bikes with fairing as classic ('80s sport bikes) is helping the '81 and '82 CBX's case. ... View more
