You may have had your eye on a much-beloved classic car to enjoy weekend outings, and perhaps even serve as the basis of a bona fide collection for fun and/or profit, but have you considered buying a vintage motorcycle instead? We’re featuring the world’s 10 most valuable motorcycles in the accompanying slideshow, courtesy of the U.K. website GoCompare.com. While all 10 happen to be ultra-scarce British bikes, a more diverse set of vintage rides and their current values (in British pounds) can be found here. In the meantime, vintage bikes can certainly be solid purchases for avid enthusiasts, whether to simply own a piece of vehicular history, drive a long-coveted model from one’s youth, or as a financial investment. Be aware, however, that sinking one’s bankroll into a vintage motorcycle, especially as an investment, can be fraught with as much or even more potential peril than with collectible cars.
