nice dealer

[oldgoat]

today just for fun i thought i would check out the dealer in oglesby IL kawasaki dealer

i explaned to him my bad knees and the type of bike i now have. i tould him the venture is a little hard for me to get on and off due to hight and my 27 inch inseam and the weight of the bike. he said he understands that. so off we go to his used bikes in the back. he said here take this black bike for a ride. and we will talk. i went hmm okay. so he fired it up and off i went for a 5 mile ride bike was nice to handle had some pretty good power. and i felt good holding it up and doing slow turns on it.

the bike was a vulcan i forgot to ask what cc it was. i think he stated a 900.

he said when im in the market for one and have the $ he can most likely get me on a good used one for $3000. he said he will look over the venture and give a fair price on it. but being old as it is. it more then likely wont be more then $450 on a $3000 bike

kind of a ouch to my pride. so im thinking next spring sell the venture out right then go for the vulcan. dont get me wrong if i had the $ to finish the venture mostly cosmetic and find a way to handle the big brute i would. i even had the thought of finding a trike kit for the venture but at $1500 used im not sure i want to go that way. im sure i will be accepted here no matter what i ride. but spring is still a long ways away. but i have come to the pint that i know my knees are just not what they should be for the venture. so a cruiser with saddle bags might be the way to go?

I know I'm partial to the suzuki volusia intruders and the like. But they look sharp, even triked and even for me I think they balance well. And I can find them used for about $2500-$3000

If you do decide to switch over, DON"T trade it in for $450!!!!!!

 

You can get much more selling it privately, or even parting it out!
