Picked this one up today, mix of original (tank,side covers,tool kit) and aftermarket (Pods, bars, exhasut,hard bags). Looks clean, and is a runner. Needs tires bad but seat,tank,exhaust are in good shape. Will have to wait till spring to go through it and get it running but psyched.

A bagger with only 6K miles.....nice.

Looks like it just needs a bath....nice find!

Nice bike - and you can never have too many bikes - there's just not such a thing possible.

Exactly, I don't have too many bikes, my shed just isn't big enough

. I am seriously running out of workshop space. If I want to work on one of the bikes I need to move a car out. I have an area 20' by 10' with only bikes and bike parts in it.

Looks great! Always amazed what you yanks can pick up for next to nothing... and with no miles, off course

Totally lucked out. Co-worker lead me to this one, he knows I ride "vintage hondas", it was just sitting in a three sided barn. It was kinda of in and out of the elements but just abandoned and going to rot, so feel like I rescued it. I don't know if miles are accurate, but it looks reasonable to assume they are, bike does need a bath but no leaks or real glaring issues. Needs tires, prob put the rear lights back on and ditch the hard bags, getting running right and then sell it. Put that money back into the project and the runner. Anyway plenty of time to figure that out since January thaw is over and we're back to winter here in VT.

I keep thinking "What's one more bike?" and now I have my eye on a cb350four.

I feel your pain................I too had to go for this 1978 CB550 with only 10650 miles. Exhaust is rusted out, minor rust all over and an oil leak from output shaft or shifter seal.

You have room for CARS in your workspace?
Luckily I can put most of a bike in the attic in parts

CARS?, we don't got no CARS, we don't need no CARS, we don't have to show you any stinking CARS! Thank you, Humphrey Bogart.

What did a bike like that run for in Vermont? I am looking for something like that for my wife. She wants to ride to Laconia with me this year.

CafeDawg · « **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2013, 08:44:22 PM »

Magilla I think under normal circumstances somewhere between $1200 to $1500 maybe $1800 on a good day if the miles are indeed accurate. I payed considerably less but their are some extenuating circumstances. I think after winter storage,Uhaul rental, tires, and tune I'll be into it less than $1000. I'd say you could definitely pic one up cheaper hear in VT than MA but then you can always get lucky and be in the right place.

Its getting harder and harder to find a running bike under $1000. I would love to find a 350 or 360 but cant seem to find one.

Stev-o · « **Reply #16 on:** January 18, 2013, 06:05:45 PM »

Hey Mag - here's a nice 350 for sale near you. Bet he would take $1500...

I guy I know drove this over to my shop,a 350, during a big snowstorm 2 weeks ago,did a bunch of doughnuts in my parking lot to show me it worked and sold it to me for the pricey sum of $100.00.He paid $30.00 for it at an auction with less than 10,000 miles on it. There are still very good deals out there,especially off the net.

WoW. I want to see the golden horseshoe that you and the guy that sold it to you have hidden from the rest of us. Wanna double you $$$ by any chance?
