Rarest is most likely the 1964 Ducati Apollo v4

Its more the power of the intenet that these bikes are showing up, ebay, craigslist, cycletrader, message boards and forums, you name it you can find it by doing a simple search, this just didnt exist 10 years ago. All this increases supply and decreases demand so rare is just not as rare anymore.

Didn’t I say that in my last post?? If not, I was thinking it. NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT: After Jessie James had that first show on TV (before anybody) EVERYBODY became a chopper builder. Now, 4 or 5 years later there are a lot of those shops closing their doors. Why would anybody looking to spend 40 to 50K and up, go to a no-name builder?? ThereNOT!! Same goes for guys trying to restore bikes. The cream always rises and the chunky stuff stays at the bottom. The industry changed and it’s changing again. I think you’ll start seeing new builds with (paperwork or a paper trail ) now. Finite element analysis etc. People with money want the best and the bar is being raised.
