Hello All!
Well, I kind of need some experts opinion here...
My buddy is moving and this bike HAS to be sold. So, he offered it to me.
The story: It ran two years ago. The guy drove it and loved it. Then, the next summer it didnt start. The local shop said it might be a fuse. He started taking it apart but had no idea what he was doing. He said the turn signals, headlight, and taillight didnt work. Also, it wouldnt start.
He put new tires on it but its just been sitting. Its still somewhat apart, but he has every nut and bolt he took off it. He just has no idea how mechanical things work, so he gave up and pushed it aside. Now, it has to be gone in a week.
Few questions:
What is it? Year? Model?
Is it worth the investment? He's asking $200.
To flip or keep?
(Ive NEVER owned a motorcycle and would be FOR learning how to ride, getting a license, taking a class. Thats cool with me.)
Does his story sound straight? What were the biggest problems with these models/years?
Basically, what am I looking at here?
Im definitely up for the Mechanical Challenge- I come from building Subaru race motors:
But, would this be a good start?
