you've seen at least ONE.

I managed to grab an 87 with no plastic and bent forks for 175$. Truth be told, an 87 is merely the last available model with a great cold starting carb and a great swinger and brake setup. Both of those parts are the same in 1986 so truly an 86 is an 87. The other changes - plastic - are almost always complete junk by now so there isn't much of a difference. I'd buy an 86 or an 87 but the 87's sure are nice to find!!

Well I havent seen many 86s, even on ebay. 87s I havent seen any. Maybe one. Cant remember. I cant wait to get it in the garage.

Hey Clay, once you get it going come on up here and ride with us in TN. I got a huge house to stay in and we could have a blast.

Ya man, sounds like you got yourself a deal there, looks like there not to easy to come by.

**ClayW** · 01-18-2006, 10:37 AM

I might do that Scott. I have a job up in Memphis @ St Judes Hospital that I go to monthly. I could easily drag it up there.

If it is in good shape I'd go for it ASAP. My neighbor has had a 87 model for about 15 years. He is the second owner. He approached me a couple weeks ago and asked if I was interested in it. The only downfall is that its pretty beat. Dented and rusted tank, broken fenders, flat tires, but it does run.

How much is the guy asking? What needs fixing? What's been changed? Original tires?

**mc audio** · 03-10-2009, 09:31 PM

I have a 87 in storage for the winter. I bought it a couple years ago and it has the white headlight. I love it because it is the last of the best! Starts, Runs, Rides PERFECT!! I don't have any good pics by itself but when the snow melts I think I need to get some taken.

so did you ever get it, lets see some pics if you did. right now i'm tryin to get an 86 i beleive it is from an old farmer buddy. i rode it when i was a little kid so i know it could run, but hes prolly just gonna give it me... hopefully.

I saw a mint 87 SX with title go for $1300 last March on ebay. It was the in the very north tip of Arkansas, close to Memphis. I wanted it real bad, but didn't have the dough.
