(sorry about the newsgroup -- this site doesn't get net.motorcycle)
Many moons ago, I had to sell my 1977 Kawasaki KZ650 fast for
honeymoon-type money. As a wedding gift, my stepmother (a
non-biker) bought it so that I could get my money in time. However,
since she is not a biker, she has not been able to effectively
get the message to the right person at the right time.
After 1 1/2 years, she got back to me. Although she tried lots of
ways, she was unable to sell it. It has been run periodically
to keep it "ready for the customer", but not ridden, so the miles
are low. It has new tires and is in excellent condition. I would
buy it back but in the mean time purchased a new bike.
For those of you that lasted through the sob-story, the bottom line
is that she is desparate! I contacted the dealer I bought my bike
through (I'm in Oregon), and he said they would sell it on
consignment for about $900. Of course, we would get much less than
that from him. As a final attempt before we turn it over to him, we're
offering it for the best offer around $800.
Last I (anybody) rode it, it was in great condition. It was used
primarily as a commuter bike, with a few trips over the mountains
to eastern Washington. It has new:
brakes
seat
tires.
also: backrest with removable pad to tie gear to easily.
45 MPG
LOADS OF FUN!
Now's your chance to pick up a really good bike at off season
rates. Besides that, you'll make my stepmom really happy!
