Old Blue books are fun to review as they list all makes and models. The new price, used trade in value and used retail. It was a real tool when taking in trades. At times I had around 30 used hodaka's in the 1970's. When Hodaka had one model Honda had 18. These are Hap Jones and I have used others.

Interesting to see the prices of those bikes, in particular, the new Husqvarnas. I bought a new 250 'cross back in '71 and it cost me around $1200.00 if I remember correctly.
