That is just beautiful. I would jump on that....love the symetrical headlights. I don't know the prices. That seeems to be like $1500 off msrp. Good luck - this coming week is predicted to have temps in the 60's!
bummer to have to walk, but another one will turn up.
the bike looked good, super-clean. unfortunately, he wanted $7500 for a bike that realistically should be mid-$6000s. i said that i've seen two bikes just like it for $6200 and offered $6500 cash. he came down to $7000 and i thanksed him for his time and asked him to drop me an email if he changed his mind.
too bad, but i'm not willing to spend an extra $500 to just put it in a garage for the winter. bummer to have to walk, but another one will turn up.
Fuck yeah! Congrats, man! I'm sure you'll tell us all about it.
Personally I think when you find the right bike $500 is nothing. Not saying you should or shouldn't but - no one ever sat around in their old age with fond memories of the $500 they saved 30 years ago.
