current Atc market?

I think the Atc will survive, yes it will. Before my boys turned 1 I got them some toys that they will never out grow:

When they get older I will get them to ride 250R's with their old man. When I was a kid my grandfather owned a large ranch in AK. He bought nearly every Honda they made & many utility trikes like dump truck models, sasquatch 340's, & a few others. My uncles rode Tecates, Tri Z's & 250rs.... Im also at that age where I can afford to buy nearly anything I want. Most of grandpas trikes still run even the Sasquatch.

You are a very cool dad!

Congrats!

I see a peak coming personally. I am probably on the younger end of the spectrum as far as age vs production time frame. As stated, the NOS stuff is going on collector bikes a lot of the time and generally speaking, collector bikes are owned by those with disposable income. Also, generally, disposable income comes with age. So, assuming the peak interested parties are those that grew up riding trikes either during production or within 10 years of the cessation, most diehards are probably between 25-50 years old. At some point, priorities change, retirement, health etc and there will be less demand. There will always be guys buying as investments, collecting, but I see a decrease in demand as the trike population ages and the demand decreases. So fixed pricing may be the ticket rather than the current bidding wars that have taken place on NOS fenders and tires lately. Just my two cents.
