This week, Wobbly Phil looks at trends in classic motorcycle prices in the second quarter of 2026, using his Wobbly Index basket of classic bikes that tracks sold prices throughout the year.
The four bikes in the WI basket are:
From the 1960s: Lambretta GP200
From the 1970s: Kawasaki Z1
From the 1980s: Suzuki Katana, and
From the 1990s: Honda Fireblade.
Wobbly's Weekly Word is an informal video with a 24 hour preview for Channel Members.
Channel members also benefit from early access to the main 3Phils videos. It costs just pennies per month to become a '4th Phil'.
