Someday I predict that of our bike s , the ones ( as per SBS287 s '03 TBA) that are clean, functional and basically original will be worth the most money, in my case, I want to ride on a bike completely adulterated to my tastes and specs. That better resale value will accrue when I'm either too old to care, or I'm already dead and gone. BTW..Lady B. is a beautiful bike IMHO
