Post Sale Update: This Stormer sold for the BIN of $6,800.
This article from Motocross Action Magazine notes that the AJS Stormer (initially available with a 250cc engine) was originally offered for about $1250 – though Suzuki almost immediately started offering bikes for about 30% cheaper. You know how the story goes. Apparently from ’74 on, you could find an un-used Stormer languishing in the crate at a dealership for $600. Fast forward 40 years and 10x the value, and you’ve got yourself another opportunity.
This is the 370 – the only difference from the 250 being the engine. And that was a good thing, but the Stormer had a fantastic chassis. It was the first MX bike that used leading axle forks and shocks that had been moved up. Not much to say about this bike (VIN: 66MO544) – it’s never been used, and the seller doesn’t give any story about why that is or where it was stored.
