It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
I so believe this depending on the condition and what comes with the bike.

Bike is totally custom and well taken care of. Had a disagreement with the seller on a couple things. I was going to go buy the bike this Saturday.
He has been running the bike without the thermostat for the last 4 years. Says he doesnt use it much in the winter and it runs better without it in the summer. I explained that I ride some in the winter and would like to have the t-stat put back in before purchasing. He refuses to do it. I can do it myself but I would just like to make sure it runs good with all normal components in place. Am I asking too much?
He also is annoyed that when I went to see the bike that I "talked him in to starting it" against his better judgement. He then was forced to ride it because he never just starts his bikes and shuts them off. Says it is too much wear and tear on the motor over years. He was extremely annoyed to say the least. Is it me?

He also is annoyed that when I went to see the bike that I "talked him in to starting it" against his better judgement. It was in the low 40's and he doesnt normally ride when its that cold.

Up until that, everything was fine. He is extremely over the top but no problems until that in our conversations.
Actually this guys sudden attitude problem may be a deal breaker. I dont know that I want to go and listen to his bullshit again. Big friggin deal, so you had to take the bike out and start it up. I dont get people sometimes.
isn't rusty's bike have like 120k and he's had to do minimal maintenance (considering the mileage)?
Are you talking about my bike?:ummm:
Mines got 41,000 in it and it's never had any engine stuff except carb rebuilds, clutches and oil changes. It's 14,000 overdue for a valve clearnce check/set.
It has over 100 passes at the drag strip.....
Lankey just has a special talent for wringing that last little bit out of them that I don't, that's maybe why my engine has lasted??:ummm:
Rusty
Actually, I posted a wanted listing for a custom Vmax and he contacted me and told me his firm price. I went and saw the bike ASAP and the next day I talked to him and said I was going to come up in 2 days, ride and then buy it. Later that day he called because I asked him if he could put the t-stat back in before I picked it up and thats when he started bitching and moaning about everything else.
HEY CHEETAH , IF YOUR NOT A " COP " , ARE YOU GOING POSTAL ? " LOL "...:rofl_200:Thats me on the bike and Im not a cop (lol). I never called him back after our last conversation. Too much drama. Dont have time for that bullshit. He can keep it. I never heard of anyone that didnt want to start a bike up when someone wants to buy it. Strange.
