What we have today is a trifecta of Sport Classic models: A 2002 MH900e, a 2006 1000 LE Paul Smart, and a 2007 1000 LE. Both 1000 LE models have never been registered, and all three bikes claim to have no mileage on them. This is one of those “instant collection” sort of deals. Why search out bikes one at a time when you can three – all with a claimed “zero mile” status? While buying multiple bikes at one time can be an advantage to the buyer, these types of auctions are rarely beneficial to the seller. It is a lazy man’s way of parting with a collection that is generally worth more in pieces than as a whole – although it might be worth a shot if there is that one buyer out there looking for just this combination. Gorgeous to look at, but I bet these must be even better to ride!

Will this auction go the distance? The reserve has already been met! Check it out here. Good Luck!
This I will never understand. Buy three beautiful motorcycles, and don’t ride them. So to these collectors, these are just things like state spoons or Beanie babies.
actually I have a bit of a collection and I would describe it more as partly like being art, an appreciation of mechanical design and function and that there is something in the collector mindset about the challenge of assembling a complete set. One the set is complete to the collectors satisfacation, they enjoy for a time but then move off onto building the next collection.
Of course, there are some people who build collections purely as investments/speculative value.
For me, the only bike I would actively like out of this collection is the black single..but thats just me I guess
