Default OCC bike goes for 16k on Barrett Jackson

A $60,000.00 OCC bike just sold for 16k, I'm not in to those bikes but for that price, Hell I'd take it I reckon.
Anyone else watch Barrett Jackson? Yesterday and today are the days to see some stuff that us working Joes could buy if we really wanted too. After today the price goes up.

I guess that tells you what regular people think of the OCC bikes.

As far as I'm concerned, some look good, but they seem like they're put together way too fast and the quality is not there. They might be good for parts.

Which bike was it? Was it a one off, or a production bike? Just curious...

Honestly I don't know, I just caught the last of the auction. It didn't have any logos on it so I guess it was a production bike. They said it was a $60k bike.......not in my world.

Jerry I saw that as well it was NOT an OCC bike. I t was a Jesse James West Coast Chopper bike model CFL (choppers for life). I was amazed that it only went for 16K because those bikes cost about $50K...

Ouch!!! I would have thought a Jessie James bike would have held more value than that. $40,000 is a BIG.

Lets face it they are overpriced trailer queens, great to look at but are only worth what some one is willing to pay. Take a look at texas choppers, 30k to 40k and my buddy just picked up an 05 with 2,300 miles for 12k.
