The last Super Bol d’Or model ran from 2005-09. It has a 1980s retro look that was probably a little before its time. While 1970s Japanese bikes are starting to fade out of popularity among collectors with prices now coming down, the next wave of collectable bikes is expected to be early 1980s models. With its tri-colour colour scheme, the Super Bol d’Or fits right into that 1980s look, albeit with modern technology such as the LED headlights. It also gets new bodywork, new wheels and, thankfully, a six-speed gearbox, making it a true sport tourer. The bike is named after an annual French motorcycle endurance race that started in the 1950s.
