My Seca is up for sale.

Has a slow oil leak and older tires.

I do have a parts bike that I am willing to throw into the deal for some extra cash.

Thats not a bad deal unfortunately Im cash strapped I would like to get my mrs into riding.

 

[OnePhate]

Oh well, I'm sure you'll find another. It's up for $700 firm on craigslist
$600 is coincidentally the price I paid for it when I bought it not running with no front brake.

 

[bentwrench]

$600 is a good price for a running bike... I'm sure it will sell fast.

Thanks, I hope it will! I need to buy Christmas presents.

Sounds like a very good deal. You may be asking too little unless time is more critical than absolute dollars.
Check out what one vendor expects on the this side of the divide:

I would easily get more in the summer.
I'm selling it for a good deal because I got it for a good deal.

If it doesn't sell by christmas I am fixing that oil leak and putting new tires on it, maybe a new paint job and relisting in the summer for 1,200.

Tough to sell a motorcycle this time of year especialy in Michigan.If it was a snowmobile or a quad then the sale would be alot easier.Those looking for a motorcyle though for next season this is the time to buy.I look at my local craigslist everyday the same motorcyles have been there for months.

Buying a bike out of country is a pain
Here's the government's website about it...

http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html

Just make sure you have all of your paperwork in order (not an extensive list below but some important points).
1) You'll need to get a release letter from the manufacturer that the bike has no existing US recalls.
2) You need to fax a copy of the release letter, original ownership, most recent insurance, and, bill of sale to the Customs point of entry you will be coming through. THIS HAS TO BE DONE A MINIMUM OF 72 HOURS PRIOR TO YOU BRINGING THE BIKE BACK ACROSS. NO EXCEPTIONS.
3) You need to bring all of the originals of the above with you.
4) You will pay an import fee and GST at the border.
5) You will have to wait for the government to send you a Form#2 to allow you to get the bike safetied. This form is completed by the garage and they send back to the government.
