Compiled by the Motorcycle and Model Railroad Museum of Wisconsin, this is the twenty-first edition of the Comprehensive Vintage Motorcycle Price Guide. Through hundreds of hours of research and data entry, formed by the opinions and data gathered by more than 450 worldwide dealers, auctioneers, collectors, and experts in the vintage field, we believe this is the most accurate price guide available for vintage motorcycles. It also contains more data than any other print or online source, as more than 115 well known and lesser-known marques/brands are included, with data through 2006. To help determine rarity and value, we continue to add manufacturing quantities for each model as we obtain new information. This guide also includes data for the very early years of some of the marques that go unreported elsewhere. New in this edition are several marques not covered by previous editions. 

Motorcycle Classics dedicates this Special Collector Edition to the remarkable street bikes of the 1950s. Numerous classic motorcycles were designed and built in the ’50s.

Motorcycle Classics has put together a 96-page special edition featuring articles that explore the decade and what it brought to the motorcycle world. The Harley-Davidson KHK, Honda JC58 Benly, Devil Lusso Extra, and many others are all covered in this glossy-page, full-color guide. Whether you’re just discovering these bikes or have been riding them since they first came on the market, you can enjoy this special edition.

Articles in this guide include:

• Unapproachable: 1957 Norton Model 30 – Joe Block’s rare 1957 Model 30 is one of just 70 built that year, but that doesn’t stop him from riding it.

• Dad’s 1958 BMW R50 – Shortly after the death of Richard Costello, his son Bill found a note attached to his father’s R50 in the garage. Since then, Bill has devotedly restored his dad’s BMW.
