A well maintained, great machine in awesome original condition....Ive seen them go alot cheaper than his opening bid though

"Where to begin...." How about this. Mint with a ripped seat.

This guy must think that he has such a rare Honda ATC. I think this happens alot to people - someone like this guys falls into a trike, and they don't want it or know anything about it. Then someone tells them, "those are rare and are bringing top dollar". I think if that seller would see some of the rides on this site, he may change his tone. Someone should PM him in ebay telling him how out of line he is!

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

At least put a decent seat on it, non ripped. He's obviously riding the rare factor to far! It's nice and maybe half the BIN would be realistic.

He shoulda fixed the seat and started the bidding a 100.00 and let it go for whatever,getting someone to make that first steep ass bids gonna be tough.

ya i agree, it is really nice, but with a NOS seat or cover and a good hand clean and polish, it WOULD be showroom. about an hours worth of work. people are lazy as FV<K!

And i quote "Cosmetically: for being 20 years old a 10 out of a 10. There is a small crack in the plastic about 1/2"long secured with a zip-tye to keep it from getting bigger. And there are two small tears on each corner of the seat" If I'm paying anywhere NEAR $3600 I want that thing to have shiney OEM plastics, an OEM seat, and I want a tankfull of gas too. Once he lists it 3 or 4 times he will understand just how rare it is.

I emailed him a courtious kind letter letting him know what was up. I'll keep you all posted if I get a reply.

Well, that solves that one - this guy didn't want to sell it, but his wife wanted him to!
