i personally hate buying projects… i had a 1986 ninja that was practically mint, minus being a 1986 (same style basically minus the tank) i paid 800 bucks for… with a broken ignition, missing tail, non-oem upper (airtech = normally a poor fitment) i wouldnt pay much more than 500 for that bike… if its your first bike and your not worried about it getting stolen (no ignition key needed to start it) i would say do it up… whats your definition of cheap?

EDIT: after rereading it more carefully… see if you can get it running… the switch is all that really needs to be replaced… its probably worth a g assuming the upper isnt trashed and the tail can be attached with minor effort

Interesting that you would ask for our opinion on whether or not it’s a good deal, but don’t post the price. :ham:

For less than $1k, rock on. It sounds like a pretty beat bike so I wouldn’t pay any more than that.

Wait, the igition wire is ripped off? Does the bike even run? If you can’t ride the bike home don’t pay over $500. And with it in that condition, take a very close look at the title. I.E. match the signature on the title to the signature on his license. :eyebrow:

meh. i got mine only needing chain, sprockets, carb cleaning, and a few seals for $800. i could have ridden it as it was, I just wanted to step it up. mine was 4 years newer and it was also like 6 years ago.

his price of 400 is ok-ish
