It's the time of year... Prices of 80's bikes that are practical transportation rather than true "collectables" fluctuate with the seasons... You guys are just coming through spring into summer... Best time of year for XS1100 prices. If you didn't buy one cheap as autumn was turning into winter, you missed out...
Of course, if you're awash with cash - like Xtian - you can buy at any time and never feel the pinch...
Check out prices in EU/UK... They're approaching rock bottom... Some sellers will be hoping that someone's "significant other" will splash out on a Christmas present for their beloved, but that's a last gasp really... Prices immedately after Christmas will be at their lowest for a month or so, followed by a steady rise as the spring and summer come back...
When prices start to level out across the year, that's the point when your bike has become truly collectable... Great news for sellers, but disappointing for owners clubs, etc, as that's the point when less bikes get used and more go into storage as "long term investments".
So... Anyone getting an XS for Chrimbo..?
