Not mine, I know the price is above what these go for with normal miles, but what about only 7500? It looks like it has an oil cooler. Was that an option?

Oil cooler was factory original on the 81 Venturer ONLY. Other wise, pics show it to be a nice looking bike, and if that be the actual case, worth close to the asking price. Heck, that stock exhaust is worth a fourth of the asking itself.....just sayin'.....

And have you ever seen a stock bike with this paint scheme? I highly doubt the truth of this ad. I would be very cautious.

Didn't see that Randy........but all joking aside, in that climate and garage kept, may surprise ya. Would'nt surprise me at all if all is fine. The climate from my direction west is such I've seen many a bike and auto that's sat for many more years and all is fine. I know, hard to believe and many of my realatives back east have a hard time believing the same thing. You'd have to live this direction to be convinced. Heck, many an XS11 on here that seem a prize find for some in those humid areas, I would consider need to go to the crusher before ever resurecting. Would not even waste my time on them, let alone pay anything for them. Here, a couple years ago I could of bought an 80 Special with the Jardine Spagetti pipes and Jardine exhaust with a badly faded Standard tank and a hidden switch replacing the ignition switch on it that was ridden daily for $300 and offered him $200, which he decided to decline. Just goes to show where you live plays a big part in value and how the climate may have effected it's function and appearance.....just sayin'.
