I'm getting it plus the trailer it's on and delivered to my door a couple towns away for 2k. It's got a touch over 7k miles and it's barely got any signs of rust. Saw one nick on the paint job. Has been garage kept. Only didn't start it for me as he has keep it up on the trailer and he says he's kept it winterized and says he changes the oil every year regardless and showed me the clean oil and clean interior of the gas tank. He rode it last in 09 and has just kept it in the garage ever since. He says expect it might not start at first. Might need a tune up, but that it ran perfect in 09. So a bit of a gamble but it looks to have been babied, and I also take note of the environment and the owner all which looked pretty up-kept and clean -he's just older now and fell off his roof a couple years back so now he's selling his old toys. So I'm expecting to end up spending a bit more but from a superficial inspection it looks real clean.
I don't know about bikes really. Just basic mechanics from cars and what I've been recently reading. Anything I should know about this bike? Anything in particular I should check out before paying for this bike without starting it? Again I'm just going to expect it won't without a basic tune-up, plugs, filters, carb cleaning etc.... Read that the SOHC's are more reliable and have parts more available than the DOHC's, but I don't get the shaft drive. But that's a bit more power transfered no? Not concerned with power anyway. But overall I've only read great things about this bike but with it's age it's not unlikely to find issues. Well I'm excited.
