love that bike and not a bit surprised it's so wonderfully received over there, hope it goes for big bucks & you bring more visions to life

I still have a SOHC4 in the pipeline. At least one more 500/550. And someday I'll finish the Katana swap project.

My priorities have changed a bit and this will free up space in my garage and in my head!

Great write-up. Beautiful bike! I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll be putting up next. Best of luck with the sale.

Hey Scott.....how 'bout a follow-up on this. Was the bike bought and gone?

jakec · « **Reply #29 on:** March 04, 2020, 02:55:59 PM »

scott I think I sold you these rearsets... where did you get the rubber parts? I have not seen them before on multiple 400F bikes I've worked on.

Scott S · « **Reply #30 on:** March 04, 2020, 03:46:03 PM »

I can't remember. Probably looked up the part #'s and found them on Ebay. Either that or David Silver Spares.
They all originally had them. I've picked up a few sets with the remnants of the old ones.

Yes. Sold and gone to Northern California. I was happy with the final price. You always hope for more but I think it did well.

i've checked the parts manual, the rear sets are frame group parts 53 & 54. and the rubber parts don't have their own part number

If you figure out where you sourced them, please let me know. Thanks!

I saw the final sale number, I think you should be happy with that. Thx for the update.

I was gonna list another one soon but now with the Coronavirus stuff/stock market madness, I'm thinking I should wait.

Do you think people will be panicking as and holding on to their money (or even rightfully)?
Or will people who have disposable income still spend it anyway?

I'm thinking that I should wait until everyone calms down, if I want top dollar. But I still see cars and bikes being listed daily.

If you didn't *have* to sell, would you wait?

754 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 19, 2020, 02:43:49 PM »

I would wait.. too scared to spend.... a lot of people .. good time to buy maybe.

jakec · « **Reply #38 on:** March 19, 2020, 03:02:21 PM »

I say sell, if you are someone that is going to buy luxury goods like a $5,000 motorcycle then this event probably isn't affecting you anyways.

Stev-o · « **Reply #39 on:** March 19, 2020, 03:15:38 PM »

If your going to set a reserve, you can still list it and see what happens?

I have a project bike that I need to finish and sell, I'm in no hurry due to the madness...

754 · « **Reply #40 on:** March 19, 2020, 03:41:38 PM »

I would not call a 5 K bike a luxury.. maybe a 25 K or a lot higher.
25 K up here pays for 1/2 a CVO Harley..

jakec · « **Reply #41 on:** March 19, 2020, 06:37:12 PM »

maybe not to us but a lot of people don't have 5k to buy stuff they don't need. If you see what I mean. If you can buy a bike right now whether its 5k or 25k, you probably aren't someone who is either A. lost their job and not sure how to pay rent or B. in their 80s and just saw their 401k decimated

754 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 20, 2020, 10:47:41 AM »

Like I had said , many people at this time are scared , nervous, watching to see what happens next....pick one or more of those.
I am sure less buyers than a month ago, but that does not guarantee it won't sell. I would not sell without reserve at the present time..

jakec · « **Reply #43 on:** March 20, 2020, 10:56:33 AM »

this is not a counterpoint, just a nice bike that's up right now with no reserve. we should watch it and find out!

Very strong opening bid.
I think my 750 will go to auction on BaT before the end of summer.
