Yes, I do want to have coffee with sexy girls.

I did alright on it. I know where three (3) more are. One with 600 orginal miles and the others with 2000 miles.

Ha!

Here's my point, John:   You do fantastic restores on the bikes you've bought and put countless hours on each of them.  The attention to detail is admirable.
But then to just make a couple hundred when it could be sold for more? I know you don't do it for the money, your loaded!

One thing I like about buying the 550 & 750's. If bought right and inexpensively restored, fairly easy to sell for $1000 more than your investment. More money to buy more bikes is what it's all about!

Thank you for the compliments. Much appreciated.

Out here they pop up all the time. Very popular in the desert States. I sell for what I think the market will bear.

I'm going to look at 2 more next week. 1978/1979 with less than 2000 miles on them. Owner said they are spotless. Asking $2500 for both. He has another with 600 miles for $1800.00 I know someone who wants them already and have seen super clean 90's for $800.00. It's all revelant.

And Remember Steve-o, saving for the you know what when it becomes available.  ;) :P

Two others sold for $2400 and $2500 recently? (stated in ad)
That's what I would thought yours was worth.

That area is full of Snowbirds with a lot of nickles. Might of happened and might not. They also drain a lot of gray and black water.  ;D

You know the drift.

Congrats on a quick sale. Someone got a very nice bike for cheap. That auxillary fuel tank used to go for 300-400 alone.  I think you sold it for to little.
You do good work.
If I weren't out of work and no money I'd buy a bike from you without a second thought as it would be as you stated it to be.
Having a bevy of Hondas in the background of your picture doesn't hurt buyer confidence at all.
That my friend is priceless.

Exhaust is new OEM 405's with 300 miles on them. What do you think those are worth?  ;)

Ok, emailed him, no ph number in ad. Appears to be a pretty good deal, I don't know much about them though.
Had to tell in the pics, but paint looks like rattle can?

Emailed a guy about a '72 Suzi TS 250 too, parts bike for $100. I have one but need a few parts.

 ;)

That bike was scary azz fast! I figured two things would happen.

1) loose license.

2) die

I did alright on it. Had a lot in it. $1500 in brakes, $2000 in wheels etc. Guy in Vegas bought it. His wife said you can buy it but you have to get rid of something.

I got the decked out trailer and $4800 cash. Not bad for a 2003 sport bike.  :P
