Bad time of the year to sell a bike in Canada, Eh?  Sharp looking machine.

I had a chance to buy a low mile SPIII a few years ago and have kicked myself since for not buying it.  I saw this one on ebay, but the color, combined with the shipping costs, put me off.  I guess I'll keep looking.

That green works for me, at least in the pics. What other colors were offered? Any idea where the price might end up?

Thanks,

John

that's a big honkin windshield.. does it look like the air box is missing?  I  bet that thing could eat some miles.

As I recall, they came in white, blue/green, and a bronze-sort of color.  Is the low-mileage white one still in Minnesota, Foto?   Price - hard to say because there aren't many of them.  The standard Strada (that bike without the full fairing) usually sells in the 3K - 4K range.  The fairing should add some value, but since there's no replacement plastic available, the premium probably isn't that much.

I had the gold version which I quickly painted black. It is a good touring bike but quite warm in hot weather, near impossible to get your knee's behind the fairing and it was no joy for a passenger. It's a $4-$5k bike IMO

It has the great medium valve engine, and is basically a LeMans V under the skin. Ccoli has well over 100K on his, but he's properly sized.  ;D
