If you?ve seen the inaugural 44 Teeth ?Retro Rides? video, featuring a Honda SP-2 and an Aprilia RSV Mille R, you might remember Jase and Sue discussing investment motorcycles and disagreeing over whether or not certain bikes reach a point in their life, from which time their value only ever goes up. Whilst Perkins believed this to be the case, Statham wasn?t so sure. This is what I think?

The discussion began when Sue made reference to the fact that the SP-2 he was riding would ?only ever go up in value. I?m sure we?ve all heard someone say words to that effect before. And whilst to the two didn?t agree, I think both made valid points.  

It?s an interesting discussion and I don?t know if I?m right? maybe I?m completely wrong. But I think once a bike?s value hits rock bottom, and then it starts going back up again, that?s the key. And once it?s gone up, it?ll usually never go back down again, because it?s proved to be a desirable machine. A bike that everybody wants to own.The appreciation of some bikes might be faster than others, and it might stall, but if you?ve chosen well, like limited edition bikes or iconic machines, I can?t see them going down in value.
This was Sue?s argument

But Jason didn?t agree, he said

I don?t necessarily agree with that. I don?t think you can ever know when a bike is at its minimum price, and that it?ll never go lower. Look at the Super Evo class in MX; that crashed because you couldn?t get any bits. And those are only...
