Topic: Thinking about buying a 77A

[Cougars750F0]

 I thought I'd run this past the professionals. I have an opportunity to purchase a very complete 77 750A with 45,161.6 original miles. Everything looks great. Exhaust is in great shape, good chrome, tank, side covers etc. It comes with a matching Wixom fairing. Price is $850.00 I'm thinking of riding it for a while, then parting it out but keeping the wheels, carbs, front end and maybe a few other parts to use on my Yoshi 810. Then selling the rest of the bike including the tank, side covers, fairing, seat, fenders and engines. Anybody needing any parts in the future? All the parts are in great condition with no pitting on the aluminum. They just need cleaned and polished. I'm open to trade parts.

Send me a mail when you start parting it out.

 OK sounds great. When I sell, that is if I go ahead with it, I'll post a comprehensive list with pictures. I'm hoping for a little feed back. I'm wanting to know if at 45,161 miles there is anything I should run from?

Think you got a great deal.  Not sure why you would want to part out.  I have a chance to get one for less than $200 and am thinking of making a cool cafe bike.

No oil tank easy to do the open triangle look.  You can also remove the frame rails to upgrade the top end.  Remove the top end from the 10k bike and bore out with cheap 836 kit and your probably looking at a fun ride.

Less shifting could be fun when your feeling lazy too.

This would also make a good trike or servi-car

I just sold a '78-matic on ebay for $1725. It had less than 5000 miles and was in good running shape. My friend has another one to sell but not quite as clean. Your deal is a steal

My Matic trio.
Solo, sidecar and trike.

  Whoops! I just realized that I put the coma in the wrong spot on the mileage. I went back and edited my posts. The bike has 45,161 miles on it. Is it still worth it? Thanks for the replies.
