Yes. 25 years from manufactured date is an antique.

There is a fine line between antique and "Junk". If you have an older MC in good condition, it may be, or may eventually be, an antique.
For a vehicle to realistically be an antique, it must have a market, or someone else that believes its worth something.
Unfortunately a lot of old vehicles, even though they would qualify as an antique in years, are just Junk as no-one wants them.
For example, an old beat up 1982 Kawasaki 125 probably isn't worth a whole lot, but an old, beat up, 1982 Harley Electra Glide is.

"Classic" is a term used in error whether it be on a car or a bike. Just because a machine is over a certain age does not make it a classic. It is "collectible". Case in point...the 1957 Chevy. It's a popular car but it is NOT considered a classic. It's "collectable". Classic cars are Duesenbergs, V-16 Cadillacs, pre-war Packards. In fact in the car world there are NO post-WW ll cars considered classics. In time, the 57 Chevy may attain "classic" status but it hasn't yet. So your 1982 "Whateveritis" is just 25 years old.

This stupid state considers 20 yrs "collector" and "Antique" is 1945 or older, not a certain amount of years ago, 1945!
