I've seen them going for dirt cheap to silly expensive.
I was thinking in the region of maybe £8000 :whistle:

The R80 G/S is a different fettle of kish--its so much lighter, lower, and simpler--and ultimately fit for purpose as a go anywhere bike. The early oilheads are arguably the best of the later bunch as the model simply went downhill in all departments after that--but they do seem to fall between two stools on price--I guess its all about reputation, supply and demand. You won't improve things by buying a later model.

What has that got to do with it?

30 year old Airhead GS's are fetching £6k

90 year old Brough Superiors are £250k

Age has nowt to do with it :silly:

Here's one on eBay. Watch that, see how quickly it sells, and how yours compares to it and make a judgement from that.

Name a 1960's or 70's bike that is still around that isn't now considered a classic.

To become classic it just needs to become rare.
