This. Have a good look over the bike. Maybe have a mechanic look it over if you are not that much of one. Rubber turns hard over the years, brake lines, oil lines etc.

If it passes the inspection, get it!!

 

That sounds/looks like a great deal! I'd jump on it if I was looking!

 

I never trust mileage figures on used bikes, especially ones that are 13 years old. Unless you know exactly who owned it.

Odometer fraud is easy on bikes of that era.

 

Well, hotrod, damn right she is a top notch unicorn. I've echoed the thoughts of the respones you've received... all good imo... and i've added my 2 cents.

do you have 7k free and clear along with a few extra to replace aged components? Hate to see someone with a note have a bike down for a comp, main trans bearing, etc...

LMFAO... In the end... he did what he felt must be done.

Yes, because any money you save upfront will (most likely) be money spent on maintenance items. Dare you pull the trap door and find out what lurks in the trans.

I'd think they'd by a speedo with that many miles on it and or have a shady dealer sell them a speedo and program the miles on it. instead of 3300 oops, "I told them 33000"

Couldn't agree more with you... and a couple of tire shops (ie, sportbike shops) which mount/balance tires dirt cheap.

they do and I like that detective work.

well, the 3300 on a '95 part yes, but not the price if indeed it only has 3300.

 

there are bikes out there with no miles I have a few people I know that are in love with the idea of owning 1 but it never leaves the garage, give it a good inspection and work the price a little and enjoy.

 

tires look good but havent asked about them. but i hear you on sitting so long. seals, condensation. if i could get it for $5500.00 then id be hard pressed to not buy it.

 

JMO---This Bike is 27 years old, it sure was not ridden much at all, if mileage is correct.
A lot can rust up internally in that time, and rubber hoses, wires, and gaskets dry up in that many years.

Low-Ball the price on this Bike, it looks good from far but can be far from good if you buy it.

 

I am not sure what it is worth. I have a buddy that knows these thing in and out, he owns Counts Custom. His name is Danny. Lemme give him a call, get him down here, and we will see what it is worth and maybe make a deal.

 

oyeah i did a job for a troy-bilt PTO Hose tiller, was like new and kept in a garage. got it home, cleaned out the carb, started right up but when i put it in gear the belt just squealed. come to find out the main shaft in the tranny was rusted and so were the bearings at each end. ofcourse it wasnt that much to clean it and install new bearings and seals and now it perfect. i know a harley isnt going to be that cheap to fix.

 

Another thing to consider is that the bike may start and run fine and check out great now. But once you start riding it regularly all that down time can start showing up as problems that were not obvious.
Not trying to discourage you buying the bike but you need to factor in what could happen when deciding what you want to pay.
