Will be many years before an XJR1300 is seen as a classic (in my opinion). I like them, but they are retro bikes, ie a copy of a classic, and strangely not really a copy of a Yamaha classic. They have only just stopped making them, so basically they are everywhere.
An original naked Bandit, well I guess so - eventually. Will take a long long time though. Long production run and a great many sold, plus there's much more exciting stuff out there. Or perhaps the real future classic Bandit is the most tasteless bling minging street fighter you can make/find rather than original - it's what seemd to happen to most of em.
R1 - agree.
My five;
Ducati 916
1992/3 Honda CBR900 Fireblade
1998-2001 Yamaha YZF1000 R1
1999 Suzuki Hayabusa
1990's RGV250 (some of em could also win awards for worst 90's graphics)
VNA predicts clean uns of the above will eventually fetch silly money.
