I was looking on craigslist for a bike and came across a 2001 929, here is what i know.

-40k miles
-6k miles ago new motor (stock replacement)
-Never downed
-New exhaust (said it was a Yoshi exhaust and spent $1000)
-No paperwork on motor swap but done at a local shop
-"Never" raced/stunted

Wanting 4k for it

Anything i may need to ask/know, good deal/not, any flaws somewhere? I dont want to spend 4k on a bike that causes me more problems than good (im not to knowing when it comes to bikes so i dont know what to look for/ask)


I have a photo of it (looks clean as hell) but i cant upload to a file sharing website (government computer) i can email it to someone though if they would like to upload for me.

 

I pm'd you my email. Send the pics there so I can post them for you and we can give you some input....

 

4k sounds like alot for it too me .. motor may not have 40k on it anymore but the rest of the bike does..
but everyones diffrent ..

(and you can copy/ paste pictures here .. with out useing a photo sharing website)

 

It wont open on paint its a .bmp file, that the only way i can think to copy and paste it. I emailed txsmainevent the image hopefully he can help me out a bit.

The seller sent me an email saying he has a guy coming to look at it today so it may sell before i even decide anything.

 

If you want, email it to me and I can put it up for you ASAP

Here ya go. Had to do a few things to get it right. Looks good....Id start lower though. Id start at around 3500. Its a clean looking bike.

Oh and dont copy and paste that away. Get on photobucket (which will store your pics for years. I know. I had pics from 06) or imageshack which doesnt require an account. I hate when people post those dime size pics.... Do it right the first time.

 

Well **** happend with my truck, in a nutshell it basically needs to go to the body shop (someone close to me took it without asking than hit a big steel container with the back end). So i dont even know if i can afford a bike right now, i want it fixed ASAP but i might have to dip into my savings to fix it faster and just have them pay me back.

He also has said someone offered to trade him a "very nice" Mustang for it so i told him if he wants it to trade for it i cant gaurentee the 3000 i offered anymore. If i end up being able to pay for it again ill start again at 3500, I just feel 4000 may be a little high for that with 40000 on everything else but motor.

 

that sucks bro

 

I was only asking $4300 for my Erion and it only has a little over 9K on it. Has tons of bolt ons. So asking $4k for something with over 40K on it is a little steep. But if he knows someone will pay it, more power to him I guess. Sorry to hear about you vehicle man!
