What is your input on the question: Do you think the SMS630 will turn into a collectors item in the US? Please explain your answer if you can. If the poll is too much on the negative side, I've got a SMS630 for sale.
Mine´s a keeper. The proliferation of all the latest Husky "concept" bikes and the fact that Husaberg has also stopped making sumos show that both have given up on their attempts to make bikes that are (more or less) based on competition models and can still be registered as "road legal". It was an expensive (and extensive) job to give back my 630 the power it was originally designed for and converting it back has meant sailing quite close to the wind as far as staying street legal is concerned. Think the 630 is the end of the road. If you´ve got a 610 or a 630, my advice is: keep it!
I post the same thread on Supermotojunkies and I'm getting flak left and right about it. Everything you have done to your 630 can be reversed can't it?
Yes, it could all be easily reversed (if I wanted to). But will any manufacturer be able to get a bike that can be powered up through future European Union regulations? I doubt it. And we can see that Husky is now trading in on its past history with their Baja etc concept bikes. Lets just hope that they can hold their own in the competition sector. And I´ll hold on to the last one that came out just as long as I can.
Exactly why the 610/30 will become a rarely traded commodity, thus making it somewhat of a "collectors" item........................maybe
Do you think the SMS630 will turn into a collectors item in the US? Sure it will, same as any vehicle does with time. Only variable among vehicles is how long it takes to become one. For the SMS630 problem is none of us will live long enough to see it happen. haha _
Look at how iconic the XRR is and Honda made and sold thousand and thousands more of them! The 610-630 are bound to be just as if not more sought after with BMW/Husqvarna going in the direction thier going. I will never let my 610 go unless they were to come out with another 600cc model that has the power, performance, looks and versatility and that's not happening yet. YES, I think the 610-630 could become a collectors bike!
RD 350, 400 What about those evil 3 cylinder 2t kawis? The little 250 was a pretty cool bike, the one I had was the only one I've ever seen. Course silver bullet is right I'll be mid eighties when it's worth something, so I'm willing my 630 to my grandson, cause its not going anywhere
If restrictive environmental legislature prevents manufacturers from marketing new and better bikes, the last ones that were available are bound to increase in value.
