Uh huh...sure it won't. I like these bikes too but damn! People got to be realistic when it comes to value especially here in the midwest. You see alot of the low milers because of the shorter riding season but people who equate rare to big $$$ and it's just not happening. Hate to say it but its not a mint Harley. CL is cluttered with the same bikes lister over and over again and its a pain in the arse!Originally posted by tom clisham View PostPretty nice MNS.

Well, one thing to remember is very nice, complete original bikes are getting rarer all the time, so seeing prices go up doesn't surprise me at all. If that's what you want, it's far cheaper to buy one that's all there and in good shape than it is to try to bring one back to all-original condition, particularly any MNS with it's 'special' finishes.
It's hard to tell from the usual crummy CL pics just how nice this one is, so it's tough to say if this is worth the $$, but it could be to right buyer...Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

I was just wondering if the one penny was going to be a deal breaker.
