General Discussion / Re: Price Check: 2008 Nevada 17,600 miles
« Last post by Mwether on Today at 04:47:50 AM »...The Nevada is unique in that it is still a twin throttle body V7 motor ...I prefer the twin throttle body feel of the Breva over the store nello for slower speeds. There's just something rich and full and how that little motor feels.
Agreed. I definitely noticed this but didn't know it was attributable to the twin TBs.
That said, there is no comparing a small block to a big block motor. When I only ride the small blocks, I find myself completely satisfied as they are wonderful balanced and rewarding motorcycles. That gets completely shot to Hades when I throw a leg over the Griso or 1200 Sport.
I'd better not ride a big block then. Ignorance is bliss!
If you like the look of the Nevada, This looks like a very well sorted bike. I would offer him $3000 cash in person, and be willing to come up a bit if he doesn't bite. If you're going to keep the bike forever then the offered $3400 sounds like a deal. If you think you may flip it in a year or two, be prepared to not break even.
Thanks. It IS an excellent example of the breed, I'm just not in love with the looks. However, I do find it more timeless than the baby Breva styling. I could talk myself into the Sportster/Virago vibe at the $1200 level some are throwing around (though I see zero signs that's realistic anywhere in the country as of right now), but not at $3K. Rationalizing a motorcycle purchase is always complex. If we did that consistently, we'd all be on Honda NT700Vs/Deauvilles...
