Thank you…

This is a perfectly running bike. Needs NOTHING. Will pass NYS inspection without a doubt. Fuck i just rode it around yesterday. All it needs is a new owner, you won’t find a bike like this for $400 ready to roll…

i think you should hold onto this until next season,easier said than done though. im still trying to sell mine, no luck at all for my price. i think im just gonna stick it in the basement for winter and hold out.

I might be doing so, i have the garage to keep it in at my new apartment so it’s not hurting me one bit. I have a couple people still interested but i think im as low as im going to be at 900 to be honest. If i don’t get that, ill just hang on to it…

These are pretty fun to scoot around on. Well worth $900 if it needs nothing.

yeah, looks like the perfect first bike for me if nothing is wrong.

Would it be easy to get parts for these?

They’re pretty readily available/inexpensive.

I didn’t have a problem finding new front forks for mine for \>$100.

They’re rediculously cheap and easy. Tons of websites online have NOS parts for these. And honestly there is nothing wrong with this bike lol… you gotta see it to believe it… Starts right up, drives around,brakes work, front forks still have some strength (not as tight as they could be), tires are good, and i gave it a full tune up…

Truth, you could probably showroom restore this bike for 3k LOL…

Actually i have no problem with reading… your price has gone from ridiculously high to “I’ll go as low as 1100”. Right now you’re at retail value. I have seen these for 4-600 bucks. The motorcycle market is a buyers market right now and being mid august doesn’t help. That said, I think if you wait it out you’ll get your 900 bucks by next spring.

I don’t need another motorcycle. I don’t need anyone to help me out. I’m not going to lie it’s a nice bike it just isn’t worth much more than 4-500 bucks at this point in the season to anyone not specifically looking for this bike.

alright now that you have gotten that off your chest and your not willing to pay a reasonable amount for this bike, im sure you can move on now.

just because you dont think its worth $900 doesnt mean someone else wont pay that for it. the bike is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and unfortunatly for you it isnt going to be $400.

I made an offer… then I got attacked… A simple “no” was all that was needed.
