2003 Blue Ohio
 
03' Blue, 5XXX miles, only 2 small 'scratches' on the front fender, about an inch long. She has 2 Boulevard side-mount Saddle Bags, windshield, and new battery. I'm asking 2500, but if I don't get any offers until like mid April I can go lower, as I'm upgrading to my brothers Yamaha V-Star Classic, but it's all the way up in Milwaukee, and I'm in Bellbrook Ohio. My mom has a "toy-hauler" which I haven't seen personally, but it's like an RV with a separate compartment thing with a ramp made to haul your Motorcycles or ATV's ect... so maybe if you're on the way from Bellbrook Ohio to Indianapolis or Milwaukee we can work something out.

Good looking bike.....for being 6 years old! :tup:

Hope you aren't advertising it "with fairing" because that would be misleading; that is a windshield. :roll:

And the windshield should be tilted back just a bit at the top. Standing up like that, it will catch a LOT of wind......and possibly make the front end feel unstable.

Hope you get the price you're asking. Seems a tad high to me but then you have some room to negotiate!!

Thanks :)
who said anything about a fairing?....
After a google search I've decided a fairing would be like... something that has a windshield built into it with new lights and it covers your hands?

Yeah I'm super willing to negotiate, as I really want to get her sold soon because I've been doing monthly payments to my brother, but I would like to send him a nice big chunk of change to get it all paid off

Yes, at minimum, that would be called a half fairing. Lights are optional and depend on the design.
A full would also extend downward a bit and deflect some wind off your legs too.

And you can't fool us; the system tags your post with the date and time it was edited !!! :biggrin:

ahh thats cool.

And uhh that edit was to fix a typo.. I forgot to caps something.. yeah.

Well Since I've had one person say that $2500 was pretty high, I'll negotiate with any offers I get.

The $2500 is in the ballpark, I wouldn't let it go too cheap. With fuel prices sure to go up there are going to be a lot of folks looking for 70+mpg. I'd say it is worth $2000 anyway, if all the mechanicals, tires etc. are good.

Yes, maybe. :biggrin:

I think his reference is to a general trend rather than any specific prediction.
World demand is still rising.....long term trend....and refining capacity is not.
Many economists predict inflation after/if the "recession" is over.
Worst case is that we have inflation BEFORE the economy picks up again.

I don't think anybody, in their right mind, thinks fuel prices will go down.....and stay there for very long.

Does a 16-T front sprocket mod increase value at all? or just appeal to the masses

Re: 2003 Blue Ohio
 
not really, it can be a feature (increased bottom end) but it's not an expensive upgrade, as sprockets are wear items anyway.
