if you’re confident that the bike looks OK from appearance, the fact that it can’t be started makes a great negotiating tool IMHO.

Agreed. It kicks through right. Seller seems like good dude, just getting old with some health issues. We will see how it pans out. He did say that he might put a battery in it and try to get it running. I’d still probably not be a player at 5k. I’ll probably have that much into to get it the way I’d want it.
