I haven’t a really good feel for the value of these bikes. We’re probably going to go see it tomorrow. Your thoughts please. Title: Re: My friend is thinking about this Post by: Steve G. on February 24, 2024, 02:46:05 PM It looks to have a few little nigglys here and there. Slight dent on the right gauge. Aftermarket scabby exhaust. Paint looks good. Slight rust bits here and there. Left side case seems oxidized??
Fair asking price, negotiate down to $4K for the win! Title: Re: My friend is thinking about this Post by: Galactica on February 24, 2024, 02:51:29 PM Definitely needs lots of dismantelling and elbow grease. Pretty sure it’s not correct blue paint.
Title: Re: My friend is thinking about this Post by: hardrockminer on February 24, 2024, 06:51:59 PM Looks like a good deal to me.
Title: Re: My friend is thinking about this Post by: Galactica on February 25, 2024, 05:28:16 PM Bought for $4,000.
Title: Re: My friend is thinking about this Post by: Steve G. on February 25, 2024, 05:46:36 PM Good price.
Title: Re: My friend is thinking about this Post by: Galactica on February 25, 2024, 06:32:36 PM A so so bike. A good runner. A PO has done a lot of cosmetic interventions. I think my friend is going to just tidy it up, fix a couple of issues (I’ll help him out with that), then enjoy it.
Believe it or not, the exhaust is a newer Delkevic. It looks odd because (my new Delkevic has done it as well) the stainless header pipes turn brassy when heated. One oil leak at the oil pressure sensor. A good amount of spares and removed original parts. Has new electronic ignition plate and coils. Pretty good rubber. Starts, goes, and stops well. My friend can ride it for the season, and sell it easily for what he paid.
