1957 Sportster ..common or rare?
I know someone who has a 1957 Sportster. He asked if Iwould find out if it's valuable?
I emailed Jay Leno's garage and asked ...any interest? That was over a month ago...no response.
I telephoned HD USA. They asked for a photo of the bike and the serial #. The man I spoke to, said he would send the infoto the archives department. I asked if they would send me some information one way or the other..ie: value to a collector..rare or common.)
That was over a month ago...no response!
What do you think?
Is a '57 Sportster a 'find' or no interest / common?
here is a scan of an old photo he had..( the model is probably 60 now)

RE: 1957 Sportster ..common or rare?
Condition, condition, condition - these arethree major criteria. Of course, the more time that goes by, the more valuable it becomes in any form.My wifehad an uncle who made a "fortune" on a 1913(?) Pope motorcycle that he bought as a basket case at a flea market in 1947. He thought he remembered paying $7.00 for it and he sold it in the 1970's for $3,200.00 - unchanged by him from when he bought it.
Today, the value of a 1957 XL would depend highly on its condition.

thanks for the comments.
Besides Jay Leno's Garage and HD USA.. is there another place I could inquire re. the value of this '57 Sportster? (I know condition is important)
Maybe an auction company that sells bikes or cars?
Anybody know of another place I could contact?
I appreciate the comments I'm getting...thanks.
