Upon closer examination the White S90 is far from original. Repaint, shocks are painted, so is the center stand return spring and tail light bracket. Muffler dented otherwise close to stock. 2600 miles is a plus if accurate.

The two bike deal might be the one to pursue. Red has title but chopped front fender. Easily fixed I would think. Parts bike a plus albeit different year. Plan on talking with the guy today.

Makes better sense. $2700 for an S90? Not unless its mint with 2K miles.

That's asking price. His emails sounds like they will take an offer. I'm an original kind of guy so a repaint is not good to me. Condition is everything so it wins there.

I'm w/ you on the original paint tt,even if it's a little rough.I think it gives more "original flavor" to the true character of the bike.

Still trying on the two bike deal. Will be a GO if the final price is right with a Saturday pickup.

Will see. I don't get excited anymore. Still might buy a new bike and the heck with it.  :P

Back on topic.

Question. Can anybody explain to me that if you list a bike for sale and you are contacted for a possible purchase that you would not call back?

I mean really. Is this for attention or do you want to sell? Still no word on the S90 pair. Corky said if I don't buy he will. So, the bikes can be sold but hey! Ya gotta call us back!

Frustrating.

Since this is my next build I save pictures for a reference. In this picture I see at least two things wrong.

Can you?
