I notice there are a few people watching the auction to see what happens. Should that have been priced at $1995?

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?

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

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

Pretty sure it's a misprint on his end, a wrecked Bassa, salvage/no title, at a motorcycle scrapyard.......... ...

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?

Worth more to a Bassa owner than a non-Bassa owner.   :grin:

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 think it's a joke to create an internet buzz and win whatever it is when you get a lot of hits on the internet.  So his intention is this discussion, not to sell the bike.

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.

Offer less than $1K and work from there.  Inspect where the damage is.
