The Australian dollar has, like the USA dollar, had a lot of inflation over the years.?? The inflation amount is different though.? Australia had a period of particularly high inflation.??
If the bike was re-issued and being sold today for the equivalent price, then Aus 3595, …..would be about Aus 65000 now….from a quick glance at:


I did not bother to look up the USA figure.

I have purchased a few new BMW Airheads (four, plus one with only 560 miles), and I think I paid 1450 USD for a brand-new R75/5 from a dealership…. and about 5300 USD for a brand-new early eighties R100RT.
Inflation is a big mixed bag.

For used bikes, especially rare and desirable models in good condition (let alone fully restored), the equivalent inflation rate is….辞谤 can be…. monstrous.? I can't hardly believe what my old Vincents (I had eight, once upon a time) and my Brough, are worth now.? I'm not getting into the cost of restoration versus what you actually get when selling….辩耻颈迟别 often the bike bites you, hard.
