Post by: swooshdave on July 31, 2016, 12:09:31 PM: I notice there are a few people watching the auction to see what happens. Should that have been priced at $1995?

Post by: normzone on July 31, 2016, 12:22:58 PM: Maybe just trying to find out what the highest bid is, and then he'll re-list with a reserve in that neighborhood.

That side cover doesn't look like it began life on that bike, and where do those fuel injector collanders come from?

I believe the fuel injector colanders are stock. :smiley: Bassas had bling.

Post by: ITSec on July 31, 2016, 02:22:30 PM: Let's see - not only no title, but several loud statements that no Wisconsin title will ever be issued and a hint that buyers should ask why before bidding.

Unrepaired damage to front fender, tank, side cover, scrapes on left muffler and footboard (from a quick look).

Being sold by a salvage company.

Priced very oddly.

Maybe someone is suffering from heatstroke?

So... this is either a parts bike , or will need a parts bike to fix , correct ? What is a Bassa parts bike worth ?

Dusty

Add shipping and then what? I wouldn't touch it for $1995 W/O shipping. Nary a word on if it even runs. Just "as is".
At least it should had a solid engine-drivetrain to make it worth something close to $1995.

I have just had a look and it says it has a clear Wisconsin title.

Perhaps he thought he better change tack as he now says $1,995 for it.

"Broken steering stop tabs on lower triple tree."
