Prototypes?

[mymint87]

Id be willing to bet that is the rarest of the rare right there. How much coinage you got into that badboy? More than the reserve on that auction I assume?

Your right dude, it is the rarest of the rare (For a Nicholson)

i'd be willing to bet howdy has the rarest of the rare.multiple nicks were built,but howdy has a sweet one of a kind.

I would consider howdy's a prototype and "One of a kind"...well documented and very rare

I can kinda see how this could be the cause of a machines creation. Think about it like this, In around 2001-2002 The ATV sence was picking back up but it was still a slow go for a full on race machine. People started buying up YZF 426 dirt bikes and putting the engines in aftermarket frames and then a few years later the YFZ450 was out. Now I m not saying that the YFZ wasnt possibly (although unkown) already being tested but conversions and creations like that only fueled the fire. Prototype? maybe not quite, but the insperation for a prototype? Maybe even the kickin the ass the prototype needed to get out in the hands of the public? I think thats possible and very likley

I don't know about prototype...seing it was an ATC 90 with just a buncha aftermaret accessories. But where do you see any other trike like his? His is definitely special, by all means.

Peronally I think the "ChrisD prototype 250R" wins my vote. My timing of my racer was just off by 20 years. Seriously though.....I hear about this stuff, but am not impressed. Value is defined by the owner/seller/buyer. Personally, I want a fast bike that wins races. Purpose built bikes are rare in any circumstance. Is a Nicholson bike important because there was a guy that built aftermarket frames in the 1980's?...that's up to you. I stick with the rare Honda factory bikes/parts myself. Anyone of you guys could be a piece of history with the bikes I see on this board.

ChrisD,that 250R in your avatar is sexy as hell!!!!!

[oldsking86]

I tend to think my bike is a piece of history for sure... Always seems to grab people attention just sitting still..

That's his Ice Racer, very nice bike too
