MINT?? Like mint really means?? It's worth 3K or more........

MINT is barely 1/2 step below NEW, just making sure were on the same page

I'm guessing it's in very good condition. Depending on the condition of OEM plastics/seat and correct other items, it could still be worth some $$.

Pics tell the real deal, but MINT means MINT............................

mint as in injection nipples still on tires and paint still on head and pipe. no paint chips, clean tank, no rub, no cracks, stock plug even.

yea it really depends on your definitation of mint vs. the rest of is. as mentioned mint is 1 small step below new as in was stored away after maybe being used a few times and no dings, scratches, cracks, tears, chips, leaks. you know basucally a new bike with only a coupel of hours riding time.

if it's not that then it's not mint. it's in good shape at best.

if you really do have one of those "mint" bikes then as started $2k-$3k depending on optins on bike and location in the country. a restored bike is not the same as a mint origional. a rebuilt bike is worth less than the origional in mint shape. if it's a rebuilt show quality bike then $1500-$2000 (2k only if it truely looks like a showroom bike)

yeah...

Guy selling was a bit off. No technology email etc. Could only go off what he was saying. Ive heard it before so I didnt get excited on drive out. Just wanted to know what a good ceiling was if it indeed was true. Anyhow, bike is nice 100 all original but had been ridden. Some small chips on paint on fram, small rub where seat meets tank and head is flakey.

Other than that it was clean and all there. Just had armor all or something put on the tires at some point so they are cracking but holding air.

Nice thing is.. guy came down ALOT in price so I got my first air cooler.

Still looking for the NIB 2nd/3rd gen R's though.

have pics on my phone. Can anyone get them off theirs to post or know how I can? PM me.

So whats was it worth?

**laidout2times** · 09-15-2009, 06:56 PM

Gave him 1400. No idear if it was good or bad deal. It was clean and a coworker and I took a far drive so I was happy. No rust, its super clean aside from the flakey paint on head and a few chips.

No clue if it was a good deal or not. It has OEM plastics, boots, guards, wheels rotors and all are spotless and look brand new. Starts 1st kick no prob. Any riding done on it was light. Have it in warehouse now but will take photos later in week.

sounds like a fair purchase being that a semi clean 85-86 is 2 grand+/-
