    The Bike that Broke the Gentleman's Agreement, and a £3k Italian Thoroughbred from a Defunct Company

    The Italian stallion you may well have forgotten about; the 2000 - 2005 Cagiva Raptor! This is a bike every bit as good looking as the Ducati Monster of the same era, yet with a £1,500-£3,500 price tag as a used proposition. Surely an imminent classic?? And the bike that broke the gentleman's agreement; the 1200 Triumph Daytona 1220. The 147hp beast that can be yours for...£2,500! __________ Thanks to XLMOTO for sponsoring this week's episode! www.xlmoto.com __________ Find Me On: www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs www.instagram.com/dob.bs www.freddiedobbs.com

    Is Buying a Motorcycle as an Investment Still Sensible With Electrification Getting Closer, and How Italian is Moto Guzzi

    Thanks to XLMOTO for sponsoring this week's podcast episode! For all of your motorcycle needs, check out the one stop shop that is www.xlmoto.eu With more and more frequent noise about plans for vehicles to be taxed on a per mile basis (regardless of whether electric, diesel or petrol), I discuss what this means for electric vehicles. And is it still sensible to look at a bike such as the Ducati 916 as a solid investment, with the electrification of personalised transport? . And how Italian is Moto Guzzi? After hearing that many of the parts were manufactured in China, and just the assembly that takes place in Italy, I decide to take a closer look at the reality Find me on: www.freddiedobbs.com www.youtube.com/c/freddiedobbs www.instagram.com/dob.bs

    The Super Meteor 650, the 2001-2007 Honda CB900 Hornet, and a Harley Davidson Sportster for Around £5,000

    I take a look at desirable workhorse of a motorcycle; the generation one Honda Hornet CB900. These bikes have often covered big distances, are not garage queens, but are starting to look like extremely good investments with their rugged build quality and reliability. And I see what type of Harley Davidson Sportster 1200s are available for around £5,000. And I check the specs of a bike I'm unspeakably excited about; the incoming Royal Enfield 650 Super Meteor!

    Does it Matter if Motorbikes Aren't Made in their Country of Origin? A Superb Value Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe in the USA, and Possibly the Last Time the 750 Africa Twin Will be This Good Value!

    I take a look at the 750cc Honda Africa Twin 750 (around the year 2000) to see if this could be a solid investment. And I look into used Harley Davidson Softail Deluxes in the US, and find a very very tempting offer! I also compare prices in warm states (Florida), compared to cold states New York, Pennsylvania etc, to see if bargains can be found in the colder states. And does it matter where your motorcycle's made- both from an ethical point of view and also for your own peace of mind?
