a real nice special

Been wondering when someone would post it here.

Anyone got a good guess what final bid might be?

.. it's anyones guess as to what his reserve might be

[chevy45412001]

i live near chicago if someone wants me to pick it up for them...

[JWSanders]

That's a beauty, for sure. Barely broken in!


Bet he wants at least 5k for it. He's probably putting it out there just to see what he can get for it.

The seller says that his bike is one of the nicest ones out there. I would stack mine up against it, and he apparently doesn't know about this site, and all of the great looking bikes here. Randy's, Ken Talbot's, and Gerkenbruce's are a few others that come to mind.

Yeah it is nice. The rear shocks are stock Special.

it is a nice bike but like said he must not know about this site and i mean yeah it is low miles and all but if we all spent a weekend cleaning up our bikes they could look like that

[Street_Rat78]

I dunno, lol ... I think it'd take more than a weekend to clean mine up that nice. But you know, she's old and allowed to show her age in some places. It's like she wearing her graying hair proudly.

Looks like the price didnt go high enough, or someone made an offer-cause now it says reserve not met and it has ended on the 29th.

guess he wanted 2500.00 or more.

its a nice bike but thats alot of dough to me for a 25 yo machine unless it has alot of extras and big bore etc.

Now if we were talking about that 1500 custom, I don't think anyone would have a problem paying $2500.00 for that one. Hell, if I had the cash and it were for sale, I'd pay 5 or 10 times that much for that beautiful beast.

[bandet01]

yeah that 1500 if it was for sale i am sure it would bring a mint and i would be bidding on that one

[bandet01]

i was starting to wounder what his min was set at but we didnty find out but i am sure it was over 2500 i mean it was a nice bike and all but not for me for that price i mean my bike only blue books for 1180 and on a bike that old the value has already almost hit rock bottom

[Street_Rat78]

Yea, the only thing that would bring up the value is the "artwork" on the bike. I had a POS blazer with some air brush work done to the hood and tailgate ... raised the value a whole $500.00. If my blazer had been in better condition, would have raised it more because it was a custom job.

IMHO, I wouldn't pay more $500.00 but the (so called) "art" on this bike. I just wasn't too impressed with it.
