Looks like a very good deal. Your just down the street from HF, no?

At that price I'd buy it just for the tubeless wire wheels.

Looks like a aftermarket seat, maybe?

That’s been on Marketplace for a long while. Started out at $3,000. I actually contacted the seller but never heard back. Not like I really need twins anyway.

At this price it would be worth having for parts if nothing else.

The red clock needles have faded to nothing, spent a good deal of time in the weather IMHO

I thought that, too.  But as crusty as the rest of the bike looks, the wheels might not be usable.

Just like Regina's HDM version.  100K miles but otherwise parked inside our garage for its entire life.  The instrument needles would fade over time even if it were locked away
in an underground cave.  Just bad design and materials.  It is possible to remove the glass and re-paint the needles.

Indeed. I recently disassembled the clocks on my low-mileage V11 Sport to repaint the needles.  It's tedious, but not too difficult, but I hope I won't need to do that again to that set.

IDK, they are holding air. Plus in my experience, the filthier the bike (as in covered with an oily slime) the better shape it is in once cleaned. That bike might just clean up fine, and wheels are hard to make unusable.

Being from Oregon, never thought i would know where that was.. Been there almost 14 years ago. Seems like Ohio,Pennsylvanian ,and West Virginia  are all right there.. Cabela's in Wheeling was quite a store too..

West Virginia, huh?  Something is conspicuously missing from his flag there...  But I'm sure its all about his heritage  :lipsrsealed:

You're thinking of the Northern Panhandle, Harpers Ferry is part of the Eastern Panhandle. Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia all come together at Harpers Ferry pretty much. PA is 45 miles north up 15, OH 275 miles to the west, Wheeling is 235 miles to the west.

My brother moved to La Pine, OR 5 years ago, now lives in Fort Rock, OR.

I rode my 2002 stone out there one day..filled up in La Pine, and road through Christmas Valley. (fort Rock area) Hit 217 miles and ran out of gas turning into a gas station in Redmond ,Oregon 450 mile day trip from my place in Prineville.(largest Facebook data center) I lived 120 miles farther south east #31 even more remote then Ft rock.. The stone returned 50 mpg cruising a lot at 80 MPH, lugs at 75

Anyway.
Nice people in West Virginia, general area..

I've been offered a 2000 Cal that has been "lightly crashed" for $1000, located in NJ.
