Here is the story that goes behind the findings of it.
I saw it about a month ago. Kid was driving it in his yard as my wife and I drove by. I said LOOK, a 225 just like mine and it looks pretty decent! She was not interested what so ever and just got a yea, yea as we zoomed by.
So that was that and I figured next time I see the kid (drive by there with oil truck all the time) I'll stop and tell him about 3WW.
So Monday I saw him again in yard except on a 400 4W sport Honda with the mighty YTM in the back ground. Pulled over and started telling him how 225 was so nice bla,bla,bla and mentioned how you can get parts on ebay and 3WW and all that jazz. At the very end of the conversation he says "Yea, I'm going to sell it and my eyeslit up. I asked how much you pay for that anyway. 400 he says and I put on a new front tire just weeks ago.
So I said think about a price and let me know. I figured it was worth waaaaaay above that and for sure, most likely, dicked myself telling him how nice it was and all that.
Went up Friday with $340 because it does need a little work but not much!
So, I asked, what do you want for it, figure out a price yet? Yea, I would like to get $150 for it. I tried to stay calm not showing excitement (almost wizzed my pants) and said OK it's a deal.
Thats the the story.
What it needs is a foot brake pedal cable, header pipe, back skid plate, 2 levers and one perch and small, small miselanious items. Dash needs to be bent up a hair but not mangled or broke at all.
He drove it like that with header off! Stupid kidNot good anbd even if it would need vales or guides or something......... STILL A HECK OF A DEAL!!
This is NOT touched by armor all to make it look better.
Seat is 99.895 % perfect with just a little 1/4" scrape on it that you'd have to look hard to find. No tears underneath seat either. Plastic absolutly could not be better for a 22 year old machine.
It still has the factory warning sticker in the middle of rear fender and it is perfectly legable. It is coming up just a bit though.
Underside has some paint off and will eventually be powder coated back to stock. This thing deserves more then a 4.99 spray can.
Exhaust need paint but not rusted too bad.
Back wheels (rims) and hubs which are not stock are coming of for sure and stock going back on. Stock size tires will be put back on instead of those stupid MONTER 25" jobs. Looks ridiculous with those on and I'm sure the drive components don't welcome it either.
If I was to resell this I would not ask but have a firm price of 750 just the way it sets. Once up to my standards a 1000 for sure.
I always wondered how you guys find these machines and now it happened to me!....except I never thought I'd find a gem like this for a lousy 150 smackers.
