I know with me
not having the skills and sometimes fall a little behind on bills. I’d have second thoughts.
Even if it did run, I’d want a warranty. Unless it was somethinh I really trally wanted

We all get 2nd thoughts on a buy and Im the worst. Thing is its an evo and in great shape if it has a clean title.
I love pulling up with my 21 yr old evo and it still looking great. nothing like riding a dependable classic.
You are the one that needs to happy about riding a classic. Here is my 97 WG.

well, I know you guys are living vicariously through me at this point but I backed out of the deal. I woke up this morning and just didn't feel right about it. For whatever reason this just didn't feel like the right deal for me at this time. It is a nice bike, so if anybody's interested it's on the Las Vegas Craigslist and it's on Cycle Trader.

Love it! The small windshield looks nice. Does it work well or do you get some buffeting?

Same windshield on mine, that's on the bike in question. Its a "Wind Vest" and no buffeting, I love it because its minimal yet great coverage. I can ride all day without wind wearing me out.
Glad you decided to step back because its your choice. I wouldn't feel the same on a new bike but that's me.

boke? Nah no idea!
I probably tried to write the word bike.

More interesting is that in ”full mode” on the phone the dates are from 2012.

But now in ”telephone mode” the dates are from 2018.

Anyway, ride safe.
