Honda SP2 prices - only going up?
Discussion
Maybe really low low mileage ones will keep their value or go up a little.
I cannot see them going up much though, in particular ones that are actually being used.
Rare bikes, yes, and do sell to older collectors, but demand is not there really.
At least if I were buying one of these I would not think about where the value goes, life is too short, get it - ride it - enjoy it. It's a bike in the end, not some 250 GTO.

Yes, especially in the right colours (Edwards) and original.
It's already happening. Good clean bikes aren't cheap anymore.
When the new UJM superbikes are £20k+ for a top-of-the-range model (same as the SP2 was), homologation specials such as the SP2 will continue to get dragged up. I don't think I am biased as an owner, as the broader market seems to affirm this. The majority of SP2s are over 15-20k miles and they are the ones asking £8k+. Clean original sub-10k milers are rare and commanding even stronger money. The SP2 was and still is an exceptional machine that feels sublime in so many ways, despite power outputs that are modest by today's standards. The format of big thumping V-twin superbikes is soon to be history, especially with Ducati moving to a V4. The SP2 was purpose designed to win on Sunday, in the heydays of legends as Bayliss and Edwards, and those are times which will not be forgotten. None of the current bikes are as singular in purpose as the SP2, and as available to the public as the SP2 was. Special. It's already happening. Good clean bikes aren't cheap anymore.

Yes absolutely. I fitted a new rear tyre onto friends SP2 the other day. That HRC swingarm is really a work of art. Very special bikes that are still under appreciated. The build quality is right up there.Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
