Mike does everyone you call suck at getting back to you?

[Mike]

yes, but they likely have 20 other people to call too.

[Sijray21]

yes, but they likely have 20 other people to call too.

be persistent and they'll remember you :wink:

just ask to go look at the bike and come with money in-hand even if you're not the first buyer that contacted him

any update?

Thats a pretty good buy........

That thing is retro sex. Thats not a color combo you'll find on most cbrs of that day.

speaking of retro, while clearing out my parents attic so they can move... i found my first ever street helmet. I dont know if i would trust my skull in it anymore.

I dunno, my boss just bought a 2001 GS500 for $2200.... 3900 miles on it. They're so cheap that there's no sense in buying one thats 17 years old. Just my $.02.

if you're not willing to dish out double the price for something newer it's a good bike. you'll only be using it to learn/commuting anyway.

you can even still talk him down below $1k based on the age alone.

[Mike]

i'm pursuing a good deal right now... will have more info later.

But, the newer bike wont need tires, or a chain, or a battery, or.... any number of things an old bike might need. And if you sell it in 6-12 months for what you paid for it, the newer bike will be easier to sell.

All this coming from someone who loves things that are old n' busted.

It seems that Mike and I are the only ones looking for a starter bike, and judging from his last post it seems Mike has something in mind, but ill just throw this out there anyway. No pictures but sounds decent.

[Mike]

nope, nothing in mind any longer.

[damnit458]

Mike what exactly are you looking to buy? You seem to have something in mind, and there seems to be no point in posting shit up that I cant buy yet and you arnt interested in :lol:

[Mike]

just looking for an older 600. i was pretty set on a katana last week until i actually sat on it... that thing was a pig! ninjas are ok, but they really just don't do it for me lookswise. i want: less than 3000, runs well, not awful looking.

[damnit458]

[Dragon]

Woot, taking my MSF this weekend!

[damnit458]
