As always wonder if it still retains the original chrome plated cylinders??
From the text info provided, it does not sound like that was done. As I know you have first hand experience with this era 850, what’s your opinion of the asking price?q
My opinion is the asking price is a place to start negotiations. Unfortunately at the current asking price I do not think the seller would be willing to entertain what the real world value is.
You never know. I once passed on a "steal" on a 1978 BMW R100RS that the owner was originally asking $5,000 for but eventually was nearly begging me to take it off his hands for $2,500 because he was desperate for cash for some medical bills that needed paying. It had some mother-in-law caused garage scratches on the top of the tank but was otherwise close to pristine but I just didn't have room (I thought at the time) for another bike in the garage, so declined. Six months later, I found the room & ended up buying my Mille GT for considerably more than the final price offered on the Beemer."Real world value" is whatever someone is willing to pay for it - despite what others may think it is worth. If the chrome bores have been addressed & it is otherwise well sorted out, I think a price not much lower than the asking price would be reasonable, especially for someone looking for an older bike to actually ride regularly and not just be an "investment" or a quick flip candidate. Fans of 850 Ts & T3s seem to be a growing group.
