| I bought one with 7900 miles for $200. However I found multiple issues I´m still trying to resolve from the bike sitting so much. The brakes are a mess because the fluid dried up into a glob in the master cylinders, lines, and calipers and the calipers rusted frozen also. The same happened to the carbs with frozen slides. The starter solenoid was bad too. Other than that, I´ve picked up parts off of EBay and have had it running but still working on the brakes. Once ready I expect it to be a fun bike. Neglect can be the worst enemy of a motor vehicle. |
