One thing for sure is:
Leno won't get rich keeping the CB1100. He is already rich.
However, he will likely still make some extra stash since this is a "bike owned by Jay Leno". Likely his estate will be the beneficiary of any net gains.
For the rest of us common folk, it is highly unlikely anyone will "get rich" keeping a CB1100 queen'ed up. Even if it sold for $100,000 - that would be a one-time gain. In addition, quite likely a future family member(s) will be the beneficiary as you decay elsewhere.
I say ride, and ride as often as you can - any weather. Go chase down a tornado on the CB1100. Get pictures with it. At least you can take the images and memories past your riding career and the experience imprinted into "your bones" as long as they are around. As long as I can breath, I will feel the rumble of my life rides in the fabric of my existence.
