There was a thread here about Valk resale values.  While we do see the Valk's price fall as it gets older, it may and probably will not stay that way.
I gave my daughter my father's 1973 Honda 350 Four a few yrs ago and she decided not to learn how to ride but she did see that it was well cared for.  Well, yesterday she called and said she had sold it for 3250$.  That is well over its original msrp of 1375$.  The 350 was not that popular a bike when it came out and few were sold.  Kinda sounds like the Valk.

Hmmm, I'd have to say that sale price is not the norm for that bike.  I am looking at a 73 CL350 in very nice shape ...  but its priced under 1500.

Gotta recollect people-value is in the mind and eyes and bank account of the BUYER. She or he don't wanna part with the shekels-they ain't a gonna buy it. Been to to many auctions where folks go past my preset limit-right past retail and into the twilight zone. To dang many folks got way more money than common sense. uglystupid2 Don't beleive that?? Turn on the speed channel (keeping in mind i'm 66 yrs and counting) to a barret-jackson auction and see what at one time was a COMMON ride is going for these days. Talk about twilight zone. 2funny And my profound apologies to ROD SERLING. RIDE SAFE.

Four Cyl makes the difference.  There are lots of 350 twins out there.
