Test-riding one of the 3 Crockers which sold at Bonhams for $300k... |
The recent
Bonhams sale at Quail Lodge during Pebble Beach week, which included
three Crockers sold near $300,000, has knocked
The Vintagent's 'Top 20' list of bike auction sales on its ear. American motorcycles now dominate the upper echelons of the old bike world...a situation which will undoubtedly change, as this battle of the titans continues; Brough Superior SS100s and Vincent Series 'A' Rapides versus
Crockers and Cyclones. Will the European racing fraternity (Gileras, MVs, Rennsports) chime in with an auction result? Will Japanese GP exotica ever come up for public sale? Stay tuned...
I've updated
The Vintagent's 'Top 20' page, with full statistics by marque, price, date of sale, and auction company. Whatever your thoughts on rising prices, it makes for provocative reading.
