Depends on what you want it for IMO. That's a riders bike at 700, if it has a title. Otherwise I see a bike that wont be worth parting out and (no offense) doesn't normally make a good custom platform. If no title, its overpriced.

Terrible ad, one pic, NO text, which probably means he's a grumpy old bastard that isn't fun to deal with.No smart seller omits 75% of potential buyers. Personally if you wont allow me to text you i dont want your shit anyway. Rare exceptions.
 
I look at it as $1000 minimum plus tax and registration to be a rider. That is a good deal if you are not wanting a new style rocket, if all you need is a little fun and transportation a grand is reasonable.

For project hacksaw... I think it works just as well. You only have $700 in to start (assuming your negotiating skills are nil)... thing is we need to put things into perspective, I have seen more than a few guys buy RC everything and also have seen some crash into total destruction and many more sold for .10 on the dollar. a Hobby is a hobby and if it keeps your mind occupied doing something you enjoy the price is only relative to your income.

I would bet with some guidance and a smashed finger or two, this one could be a little more fun to ride with some minor modification, might not send that shweety in the Daisy Dukes (so glad there back :p) in the opposite direction and even turn a little profit when sold.

Jus muh 2 Lincolns of course :eek:

I Agree. The reason I posted is the few touch points i look for, the stock (clean looking) pipes, bars and the rack say it has been decently maintenance and hasn't been passed around like a blowjob queen at a frat party.

Simple inspection would tell a lot, but you just never know until you take it home :eek:

Load that one up!

I wish. Traded my truck in as a down in my wife's car. I posted this hoping someone here would buy it and I could live vicariously through them.

Somewhere I have pics of a yamaha225 DX on top of a Chrysler concorde. There was no room inside since there was a whole other DX in pieces throughout the rest of the car. It can be done.
