Probably the seller jumping on the 'classic resto' bandwagon. He is just trying to talk up the price. Any 25 year old bike is a rarity these days but unfortunately it has precicely cock all to do with the value of the bike. Condition is everything. Even the milage looses its hold at that age. Its reached the point in its life where its worth a ton maybe as a scrapper to between 5oo and a grand tidy and ready to ride. Unless its properly mint of course then its worth what someone is willing to pay.

The one thing you can say buying a bike at that age, so long as the bike is looked after it will never loose money and it should increace over time.
