Can't "encourage", or Discourage", you at this point. don't know the "asking price", extent of broken plastic, or stator condition. i CAN see that the seat is in pretty poor shape. if it FEELS right, then go for it. just jt:backinmyday:

cecdoo Posted November 3, 2008 #8 Posted November 3, 2008 Yea well I would still come back down for a visit, that was a great week!!
Thom Posted November 3, 2008 #9 Posted November 3, 2008 $800 you got it home yet ? why did you ask us ? just to rub it in ? your not buying it your stealing it for 800 bucks , you lucky dog , i envy you ! Thom
SilvrT Posted November 3, 2008 #10 Posted November 3, 2008 Eight hundred!! wow ... now that's gotta be the reddest red I've ever seen... don't be going near the firehall with it...they'll think it's one of theirs! lol
Dano Posted November 3, 2008 #11 Posted November 3, 2008 I picked mine up for 600, if it runs with nothing dripping from it and rides decent (other than probably needing progressives, seals, etc.) I would definately pick it up!! Of course, you'll need a dark pair of sunglasses before you get on her on a bright day! Dan
BEER30 Posted November 3, 2008 #12 Posted November 3, 2008 Do you really mean , they will pay you $800.00 to haul it off ! :stirthepot::rotf: BEER30
mini-muffin Posted November 3, 2008 #13 Posted November 3, 2008 For that price you should get it. Now as for the color WOW that's red. The guys can get you through anything with the charging system. Of course it's still up to you. Margaret
Eck Posted November 3, 2008 #15 Posted November 3, 2008 yep, thats definately a RED bike..........hell, my eyes hurt... Looks like it does have about $800 worth of accessories on it And Beer 30 has a valid question ....
Condor Posted November 3, 2008 #16 Posted November 3, 2008 Nice paint, double ugly seat, nice accessories. Just make damn well sure second gear is still good, or it's been fixed. Good luck. BTW you can buy just the foam for those grips...
saddlebum Posted November 3, 2008 #17 Posted November 3, 2008 Hey if I can peice together an eintire jigsaw of busted up plastic with plastiex including making one good fairing out of two bad ones then a few cracks is nothing. GET THE BIKE BEFORE IT IS GONE:bang head:
dray Posted November 3, 2008 #20 Posted November 3, 2008 For that price you should get it. Now as for the color WOW that's red. The guys can get you through anything with the charging system. Of course it's still up to you. Margaret ya if they give him that much for it he should grab it and then get his scrap price for it by the way how much did you get for the pile of stuff the muffin man brought home the other day Do you really mean , they will pay you $800.00 to haul it off ! :stirthepot::rotf: BEER30 ya i seen pic's where the muffin man was haulin one home I think he took it for the scrap price
1rooster Posted November 4, 2008 Author #21 Posted November 4, 2008 I bought it.Going to SC and pick it up wednesday.RED???? I thought the bike was yellow.I think it would look good with some red pinstripes on it.
friesman Posted November 4, 2008 #22 Posted November 4, 2008 I bought it.Going to SC and pick it up wednesday.RED???? I thought the bike was yellow.I think it would look good with some red pinstripes on it. Good luck with your new purchase! Maybe a nice wide yellow pinstripe would tone down that red a bit.......:confused24:........well mabbe not, but it sure couldnt make it more bright!!! just kidding you, Enjoy! Brian
