Topic: 1975 honda 750 with side car too high price should i bother?

[fe2cruz]

i really want a sidecar rig and this is the only one available locally
i just want a small rig i can take on the freeway and on mountain roads
is this 750 supersport too underpowered?
67 BHP@8,000 rpm
the california sidecar seems to be very small and light
so the total dry wieght has to be 650-700lbs  maybe?
the owner says he has put 80,000 miles on the frame and sidecar
but the engine has been rebuilt
$4,500 seems like a lot
i've seen r90s with sidecars at better prices
what do you all think?

it all depends on what those sidecars are worth. The cb750F if it is in awsome original shape (somehow I doubt it since it is painted black) the bike by itself is worth maybt $1500-$2000 (based on that crappy pick I'd say the bike  by itself is worth $1000-$1200). Personally I think the price is too high but I don't know what a sidecar costs. One thing i've learned about bikes is the price is always negotiable. I'd probably offer him $3000 but I don't really like sidecars.
