Well, unless you are still paying on the bike, I say keep it. Besides, the fuel savings by riding the bike will pay off with the new lil one.

Well, unless you are still paying on the bike...

??Can you even get a loan on a 40 year old bike??

Beside I have another bike that will be on the road next week...so I'll still be riding.

And I just bought a car and I'm looking to recup' a little of that cash...

Its like watching a child go off to college, I guess. Both happy and sad to see it go...

I like the gauge faces. Did you install them yourself?

WOW! Gorgeous 2002! Looks like a 73? Also the euro turn signals are beautiful! I'd sell a CB500 for a mint 2002 also

Good luck on the sale.
