I have not cleaned her up as yet, but price will probably increase once I get into her.....unless you want to jump in now and grab her!



I think he will have time to clean up the beast since it's priced at $3800..

At least it's not as yellow as a Yamaha RZ350 a friend recently bought.

I wouldn't mind the color so much, except that there's not much of it left!

A rusty old piece like that, IF RUNNING, might be $1200.  The upside is that if he likes it, he'll be able to keep it forever at $3800.   Or even if he doesn't like it ...

I had some really nice wheels and tires for a MINI Cooper. I advertised them for what I thought was a good deal for someone, and I'd be rid of them. $250. The first guy said he'd give me $175 unless I waited a couple of days, then he'd give me $150.   :rolleyes: Told him never mind, then.
Sold them a couple of days later for $250. How can you play hard ball when you're a buyer?? You meet the weirdest people on Craigs list. <shufflin off>

I guess I ask for $3800 on my SP1000.  Lower mileage and better cosmetically, paint and all.  Hmmm....maybe $4000.   :grin: :grin: :grin:

I'd love to have a Max-Yellow Guzzi and likely will someday since the Katana's on it's way back to stock. Have to have SOMETHING in yellow - it makes me happy.

There's a lemon yellow LeMans III somewhere in the Priest River, ID area.
