[Chevelle-list] Bike for sale

[John Nasta]

No hard feelings Phil. Honestly I got a great deal on my bike. I'm  
sure I could get at leat $2k for it (considering that is roughly 3x  
what I paid for it). A guy at a local bike shop offered me $1500 for  
it so obviously he thinks he could sell it for more than that. I see  
what they go for on ebay.

The six cylinder twenty four valve CBX engine will prove to be no joke  
to anyone who does not have experience with motorcycle engines. Gotta  
wonder why the current owner would rather sell it non-running rather  
than fixing it. Of course one possible answer is that it will cost a  
lot to get it running again. This is just reality and not meant as an  
insult. Any time a vehicle is non-running it seriously hurts the  
resale value.

I did some poking around and saw some CBX's for sale around $5k to $6k  
USD. Maybe I just found some incredibly cheap ones.

Here's a nice example:

That one says it sold for $6500 Canadian and supposedly was "stored in  
climate controlled room" and "runs like a dream" and has only 9800km  
on it.

Anyway, I'm not one to tell anybody not to have fun, whatever that  
means to you. I just could not consider that bike for myself, and I  
hope that whoever does buy it knows what he's getting into and really  
wants that particular bike.
