lookin at this 350x what do you think...

[BAN ONE]

i am going to look at this 350x tom. morning wanted to know what you guys thought of the bike what do you think that is work....from what the guy said it runs stops no smoke motor sounds good just needs a little body work....wrong tank and it looks to me wrong front fender.. he has a price of $650 but im going to try to get him down a little but thinkin if it runs good and frame is not all bent up it would be worth the 650 let me know what you think...leavin early in the morning to go look at it so nobody gets there before i do haha

[daniel_250r]

yea thats worth 650 to me, based on the market i'm in. it has 1st gen 200x rear plastic front plastic and tank

[Mosh]

It looks pretty rough for 650$..For that price, I would at least expect, the proper gas tank with busted up fenders and bald tires.
It sounds like you have the will and determination to fix it up, and it could be fixed up decent for sure..But it is gonna take some coin..

But I would say if you get for the Sub 500$ amount, you will be better off.
For basically, a running, riding chassis..
At least the 150$ savings could get you some decent used 350X body parts for it.

[AutoXer]

i say you would be better off to spend a grand on a nice one

thanks for all the imput i didnt notice the rear fenders but i wasnt sure i am having a hard time finding one for under 1500 around this area....i figure its worth a look see...we have some spare parts here already(mostly motor) but i figure if i was to buy all new plastic it would run me around $350 according to him no smoke and runs strong but i have heard that before.. just kinda looking for a riding bike that i dont have to worry about and probably restore later....but i know i am not going to do it but wouldnt the motor and chassis be worth 600 if its good??

[Erics350x]

i wouldnt give more than $200 if it runs good

[inv3ctiv3]

Hmmmm I dunno about that one....

[leviblue]

It looks like a parts bike to me but $250 maybe $300 tops. To bad you don't live out here. Theres ALOT of them for sale in Eastren Pa, Del.,and New Jersey. All nice and priced around $1500. If you want one to work on then buy it, but look around on Craigslist in surrounding states . I'm sure with the holidays comming you'll find one cheap and in way better condition. Just a thought.

i would offer 500

[Dammit!]

Man I feel for you guys. Around here that thing wouldn't sell for $650 unless it came with $600 cash in the airbox. :lol:

lmao, i was trying to be nice for a change

here is a little update let me know what ya think...went and looked at it bike does run good no smoke good power...frame is pretty ruff could be fixed for sure but a few bolts broke off foot pegs bent bad back where the grab bar is bent down and cracked here are some pics...dont think its worth the 600 maybe 500 for the motor and odds and end parts tho.. and for the guys that say they are picking them up for less then 500 and are able to be ridden i wish i was there lol i think it would be easier to find gold here then a cheap 350x.. and as far as the "Theres ALOT of them for sale in Eastren Pa, Del.,and New Jersey. All nice and priced around $1500" i would be up for a little road trip to pick up an X for a good price

the only thing i can say is that they must have liked the 200x looks and plastic a lot

[harryredtrike]

to me its worth 500.00,for a mechanically sound 350x.if you tore her down and put another 500 in her she'd be sharp.for a total of 1000.00 and your time of course

[85Tecate]

That things pretty rough. I dont think i'd offer him 600, maybe 450 tops. It's going to need alot of work.

[Dammit!]

Sorry I didn't mean to be rude in my first post. Prices are a lot different here just because the machines are a lot more common. If you ever feel like making youself sick, search the Phoenix and San Diego craigslist. Lots of cheap trikes (and some not so cheap trikes too).

[BAN ONE]

lol i didnt take it as rude at all lol i was just saying people must not have bought many around here...ive seen motors go for 450-550 around here motor only that was the main reason i went to look at it and i know where there is another 85 at that is a rolling one that all its missing is motor and rear axle has swingarm just no axle for 300....i was thinkin take the two make one nice one have some spare parts and a little bit of work in it and have a nice rider

[350Xccelerator]

Id probably pay around 3-$400 tops for that if it runs good, youre gonna have to get all new platics, a seat, and a gas tank.

[ATCeeya]

i saw that on CL..he was askin 700 firm i think?

[Dammit!]

I bought a beater for $500 and a good runner for a grand. Put the best of both together and sold the rest. I didn't keep track but I think I'm only into my 350x for 200-300 total.

[BAN ONE]

haha well maybe i shouldnt have posted it on here haha i called him to offer him 500 cash today and he said that someone was coming up from west varginia and told him to consider it sold...but who knows i told him that if the guy doesnt take it to let me know and the offer still stands...from west varginia its about a 6hr round trip if they are on the upper part of WV long trip for a bike in that shape in my opinion... guess i will just have to wait and see.... still i think me or my buddy is going to pick up the roller frame minus motor for 300 :TrikesOwn

[BAN ONE]

oh and one other thing i forgot user "Dammit!" i see in your location it says pheonix by the way of ohio...i think your taking the long way to pheonix hahah...i am about in the middle of ohio....if your out there and can find a cheap rider 350x and we could work something out and are coming back this way for the holidays i would be willing to give ya some cash to bring one back with ya :D nothing like solid rust free out west trucks and tirkes!!! i just previewed post and i am not sure why the dammit thing is comming up that way...
