Talk about living in a fairytale world! Here's how it will REALLY go. You buy a brand new bike; wrap and cover it lovingly; store it securely in an unused corner of the garage for the next 40 years and then you die. After which your old lady says; "finally I can get rid of that #$@%$ minibike" and puts it out on the front lawn with a for sale sign. She then sells it for $20.00 to some kid who immediately replaces the motor with a 2045 model of a clone...of a clone... of a clone with the governor removed and after painting it purple; proceeds to beat the s##t out of it.

you are probably right neck,but who would want to store one of these when you could store something that is already vintage in the same space:shrug:
i don't have enough room but the theory sounds correct
i could hear it now -barn find new in the box 2011 Chinese doodle bug ,all stock survivor, very rare ,hard to find.$25,000:laugh::laugh::laugh:
but with inflation factored in $25,000 will only be worth about $250 of today's money .so whats the point:shrug:

for some reason i dont think they will obtain much value in the future because they aren't built with the same quality as the old ones. back in the day minibikes were expensive and were a big deal to have, like a 300 dollar rupp minibike back in the day could be worth 2k now, but a 400 dollar rupp motocross bike back in the day isn't worth a whole lot more than that. because rupp was one of the best minibike manufacturers but wasn't the best motocross bike. but the db's people have now are cheap and are just beat to crap. i don't think they will gain value because they don't start with any in the first place.
