Mecum Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction

For those with any interest in the subject, the Mecum Motorcycle Auction starts of April 28th and ends on May 1st.  I went thru the list of bikes going over the block and found about 8 that are interesting to me.  These are all 900cc Kawasaki's of various early years.  Surprisingly no early 1000cc bikes are listed but this could change yet.  Most of the bikes all have a reserve on them.  It should be interesting to see where prices end up on these bikes.  If the car auctions of late were any indicator the prices should be kinda' high.  None-the-less it will be fun to watch and I am sure to yell at the TV, "You Have To Be Kidding Me?!" and other choice words a few times.

Bummer for me, my local cable company isn't going to have this auction live as they normally do.  They may run it later, according to them motorcycles auctions aren't that popular.  Just my luck. I wanted to watch and record it.

I just paged through the results. A few are tagged "the bid goes on..." but a few of them apparently just didn't sell - and they were marked "no reserve". Maybe no one bid on them at all.

One non-seller was a rolling Beeza (BSA) missing a lot of parts, but one was a nice Suzuki RM250 and one was a Honda CT70.

They have next day coverage on youtube.
Plus CYCLEDRAG's Jack Korpela is going to put together a video.
He has a 10 minute clip up now, Jack is a KZ fan, has one, grew up with his Dad drag racing them.
So cycledrag will cover all the Z1-KZ? I only see 3 in the search. Nothing big dollar?
