Mecum Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction, Jan 29-Feb 1, 2025
The annual bike selling extravaganza (2000 motorcycles in four days!) has concluded, kicking off the 2025 auction season and setting the stage for the coming year's classic bike market. A 1915 Cyclone has set a new world record motorcycle selling price of $1.320,000, $300,000 above the previous record! The world's first million-dollar motorbike, and it didn't even have Steve McQueen's name attached to it.
Paul d'Orleans, one of the broadcast commentators, noted the following: "...the landscape has changed: American four-cylinders are hot, 1970s/80s dirt bikes are hot, 1980s/90s sportbikes are hot, Kawasaki triples are hot, 1970s/80s Italian sportbikes are hot, but everything else is cold, cold, cold."
Looking over the results, I spied the following Honda V4 completed sales:
1993 VFR750R RC30 — $27,500 — Japan import, unknown miles
1990 VFR750R RC30 — $51,700 — Mitzel collection, 7000 miles
1990 VFR750R RC30 — $42,900 — Bruce Milner collection, 7700 miles
1987 VF700C Super Magna — $3300 — Mike Boyle collection, 4800 miles
2007 VFR800 Anniversary — $12,100 — Mitzel collection, 800 miles
1988 VFR400 NC24 — $6600 — David Silver collection, 28,000 miles
1996 VFR750 — $2750 — 5900 miles
1985 VF500C V30 Magna — $4950 — Mike Boyle collection, 2300 miles
Mecum's listings are notoriously short of online details, I guess it's more of a "ya gotta be there" thing.
