Stafford Classic Motorcycle Show Auction

Stafford Classic Motorcycle Show just broke my brain AND my budget 🤯🏍️
Went to look at bikes, left questioning all my life choices...
Photo 1 & 2: Barry Sheene's 1977 Suzuki RG500 XR14
SOLD for £506,000 💸💸💸
Half a MILLION pounds. For a bike. A gorgeous, legendary, world-championship-winning bike... but still!
So I did the maths:
• That’s 33 brand new Honda CBR650Rs
• Or 63 used CBR600RRs like my beloved Fireblade
• Or 3,000 full services for my poor broken-down girl currently in Lee’s garden 😅
• Or 25,300 cups of coffee on my Bike & Brew Passport run
Worth it? For a piece of Barry Sheene history... yeah, probably. Would I rather have 63 Fireblades? Also yes 🤣

Another stunner that went for £186,300 at the same auction.
A road-legal MotoGP bike for the street. Carbon fibre, titanium, HRC magic. That front end though 😮‍💨
That’s still “only” 12 Fireblades. Bargain?
Bonhams clearly knows how to throw a party. My bank account is hiding under the bed after today.
Who else was at Stafford? Did you see the hammer prices and need a lie down too?
