DBLXX Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 30 minutes from me. FYI Also....I think this has been for sale for a WHILE. Most people who are NOT in the know have a problem with a bike that is going on 13/14 years old with 1500 miles on it. Especially in NY.

blackhawkxx Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 If the paint is perfect, I would be all over it if I were looking for another Bird. I would look in the tank to be sure of no rust, looking closely at bolts and brackets to see if it was kept in a very damp place. Add in tires and fluid change when working out the price. Wouldn't worry about much else, the Bird is a touch old girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Knievel Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Sole owner. Since I have very few miles on the bike I do not have the that much maintenance to prove. I did an oil change two years ago. I'm confirming if the oil change is the only thing he did to it. I'm also asking if he got it in 2003/2004 or if it was a "rare find" later on. I have a hard time believing that a person would only put <150 miles on it each year...even if it only got ridden in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age alone does not equate to deterioration. Mileage has never been an issue with the XX, high or low. The low mileage on this example may pique some collector interest; it would certainly get my attention. However, I already have a near mint '99 in my collection that only has 3K miles. I just wish I had more room . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXX Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Take your time on this one Zero. Ask a lot of questions - give him a bit of the run around. Ask to speak to his relatives and possibly even old professors and teachers. Ask for the original bill of sale, blood samples, and see if you can fuck his wife too. The is setting up like a real winner. You're guaranteed to have a pleasant buying experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm not going that far, but it is CRAIGSLIST, so you have to err towards caution. Given that 1,500 isn't that hart to put on a bike, you never know what the deal is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Owner says he's the original owner and is very busy. Basically only rode it around town in the time he had it. I may run a VIN check Monday from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Knievel Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'd offer him $1K less than what he's asking...just because he never did routine maintenance as it sat in the garage. At the very least, he should have changed the oil and coolant every 3 years. The tires may be fine, but I'd not trust them on a trip after a decade of aging. I'd presume that OEM coolant would still protect the system from all that sitting around and doing nothing, but until you won't know until you run some system cleaner through it and see what comes out.

Redbird Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'd offer him $1K less than what he's asking... And he'll sell it to someone else. I seriously can't understand how you've ever managed to buy a used vehicle with your "standards". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 +1, rolled my eyes when he said he was going to offer a grand less. There is a nut ball out here asking $6950 for a similar 03 XX and will likely eventually get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say that you're officially retarded but I think I figured that out a few minutes after meeting you. But seriously- you're a fucking retard.

Zero Knievel Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) And all those other bikes have at least been USED and MAINTAINED since being bought. While this bike's been garage-kept, it's hardly been ridden (fine for 3-years-old, bad for 12-years-old) and no maintenance other than ONE oil change two years ago. You know you'll need two new tires off the top...probably change upper and lower coolant hoses to be safe (possibly radiator cap as well) because of aging rubber. New battery...easy. If the guy had at least changed fluids every 2-3 years, I'd say I'd just be looking to discount for the old tires, but he's really done nothing but ONE oil change. Hell, at not even 2,000 miles in 12 years, it doesn't even look like the motor was properly broken in (although it's young enough that it could be corrected with no long-term harm done). Once he started riding the bike, he should have at least kept up the maintenance every couple of years. He's letting certain parts deteriorate from neglect, and you all know you'd have to spend $$$ as soon as you got it to bring some things current or risk them failing at any time. That affects the price...period. *** Just ran the VIN....first registered in 2006...so that helps.
