Difficult to say without pics, but personally the only way I'd call someone even asking that much was if it was PERFECT..in an original way, not restored unless it was with all NOS parts.

No never mind..forget what I just said that's just crazy high..!!

[sx250heath]

Trikes cost a lot where I live, that seams crazy to me

[oscarmayer]

i think the guy is smokin some weed. he is probebly lying a lot about the bike since there are no photos.

[Big Mike]

if i was closer to either of these i would go look at them just to tell them how crazy they are.

Shady description, no pics, no thanks.

I know, those refer heads are just out of their minds!!! :rolleyes:

[Dirtcrasher]

Aside from this, many trikes are worth quite a bit if they have been restored (correctly).

Some day pick up a junker cheap, then keep all your receipts. I know I have 5K into mine and I'll never sell it......

[falloutboy]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. If you're going to ask that kind of money for a 26 years old machine, and especially since it says "MUST SEE", You better include pictures.

[88 Turbo Coupe]

^ I agree ^^

Very true DC, but we all know a person will never get the same money out of a machine that we put into it. My R has about $6500 into it and like you, I have no plans of ever selling it. But if I did, I think I would be lucky to get $3500. That's just the way it is unfortunately.

[captainweezy]

There is not even a picture?? Wth

I completely agree; If a person were to be concerned about getting their money back, they better let it leave the house with a cloth over it :lol:

I think were lucky to see 50% of what we spend......

[whyzee]

Funny i was just reading the exact craigslist ads, as both are near me. My big question is why quit at a 95% restoration? ?? What 5% didnt he finish?
Contemplated texting him pics for my 400EX.

[250rs-neva-die]

the first one for $4500 is in my town. Contacted the guy a couple times and never got a response. I just love people on CL sometimes. wasnt going to buy it but just wanted to see how nice it was.

Also, when they write 'many new parts, too many to list', are they just being lazy, or do they just not want to be specific as they may get called out?
