High_Side has horseshoes coming out of his ... :laughing:

Well so far, the 2001 Ninja I bought for one season and then sold next season for the same price $3500.
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...

I got this 82 suzuki 650G for $500. Guy didn't know what was wrong with it
and I had it running in 10 minutes. a shorted out wire in the headlight bucket was all that was wrong. new tires, clutch, brakes. and a fresh tune up. the best $500 I ever spent for sure.[img][img]http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb11 ... wbars1.jpg[/img]

I bought these two 2001 Kawasaki Eliminators 125's in the spring of 04. One had 400 some miles on it and the other had 2500 some miles on it.

Bought both for $2200.

Took them to the shop, where I had them serviced, $125 or so. x 3

My wife and I rode them for 3 years, getting a feel for learning how to ride and sold them this spring for $2500.

Not too bad.
Current Ride:

2005 Honda Rebel 250

Used to own:

1992 Kawasaki Ninja 250: Sold
2001 Kawasaki Eliminator 125: Sold

I bought a 2007 V-Star custom with 8 miles on the clock. $4000. The guy had bought it, rode it home, had a doctor appointment that afternoon and got banned from riding. Same bike from a dealer, $6000 before tax, tags, et al.
