You are not going to send the kids to college with the proceeds from an eBay auction, although you may be suprised at how much it will bring; it presents very well. During the '70's bike boom many companies jumped into the fray (like the singer sewing machine company; Browning (maker of firearms); and Maserati). They were mostly second-tier, or lower bikes that got people around until the gas lines were gone. Bugatti was more than likely one of these.
