GrahamLFCkeeper Posted July 18, 2019 #1  Posted July 18, 2019 Well the VN1500 has been sold. I hate selling any bike, i always get attached to my bikes. It's always comedy trying to find a new one. Ebay is ridiculous. Isn't it amazing how many people are 'emigrating' or' leaving the country'.... 'Hence sale' 😂 (Maybe you don't get that in North America as your nations are the so big?)  Also... 'Few scratches as seen in pics'..... Checks pics... Nope can't see any.... I moan but its fun... We buy bikes that 'need tidying' and then move them on if we can for a bit of extra pocket money.

luvmy40 Posted July 18, 2019 #3  Posted July 18, 2019 You have no idea how many hours and gallons of gasoline I have wasted checking out Face Book and Craig's List adds that show a nice picture that turns out to be 20-30 years old and what they actually have is a pile of parts or a basket case rusting next to the driveway. Keep looking though. It finally paid off for me when I found a truly beautiful specimen of the '86 Royale variety on FB Market Place fairly close to home.
cowpuc Posted July 18, 2019 #4 Â Posted July 18, 2019 I know,, it's another flaw in my vastly flawed character but I always found the looking for em, looking at em (even junk), chatting with PO's and shopping for em really really fun,, almost to an addiction on my part... Weird eh..
djh3 Posted July 19, 2019 #5 Â Posted July 19, 2019 I just put my 3/4 ton dodge up on craigs list. First couple days got 3 or 4 e-mails, I did not put personal E-mail or phone # in ad. 3 of the responses were some sort of "I have trouble with CL email, whats your e-mail to communicate directly. LOL Yea like I'm gonna do that. A week later nothing. Oh and an ad to sell something is no longer free on there.
GrahamLFCkeeper Posted July 21, 2019 Author #6 Â Posted July 21, 2019 Well look what came up! Very nice looking Gen 1... This is tempting! Â https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323863734842

RandyR Posted July 21, 2019 #8 Â Posted July 21, 2019 Thats as 'almost new' as you're likely to find a first gen.
GrahamLFCkeeper Posted July 22, 2019 Author #9  Posted July 22, 2019 Well I've made a very left field purchase... A Hayabusa  I just couldn't turn it down for the price it was going for (The joy of Ebay when you get a bargain!) .. There is actually some left in the Kitty to allow me to keep an eye on the Gen 1... Though that's why I hate reserves!  To clarify the RSV Gen 2 is still there! This is my 2nd bike!
