Picked up another one to sacrifice to ebay in parts.

It actually runs, but in pretty rough shape.

Little truck is getting a workout.

AZ200cc · 06-13-2009, 10:44 PM

That's what trucks are for

That poor poor bike :(
Looks like a lot of good hard parts on it though....WOnder if that engine would fit in my XR project 8O :?

SpeedSouth · 06-14-2009, 12:15 AM

Any chance it has the tool kit? I could really use the spark plug socket but I'd be happy to have the complete kit.

I also need one of the little chrome caps for the swingarm pivot bolt.

katoranger · 06-14-2009, 08:45 AM

Speed. I will check for those parts. I was thinking you may need something from it.

It has a new battery in it too.

Need an extra set of wheels?

katoranger · 06-14-2009, 12:42 PM

The chrome caps are there, but I can't find a tool kit. Is it hidden someplace?

Anyway pm me your address and I will send the caps down.

Why do people do things like that to innocent motorcycles? :? . It ani't right. Like mine. Almost new out of the showroom, dumped and sold on CL. Like you guys, I take good care of my stuff. It's the way I was raised. From my pickup top my cars to my lawnmower. It's all in good shape.

Anyway, if that bike is mechanically sound, I'd get a new fairing and learn how to paint. Should turn out OK. A cool commuter/rat bike at the very least.

FastDoc · 06-16-2009, 11:13 AM

Parts for your bike are super available. It'd been produced almost unchanged for 20 years. Mine's only been out a year and a half.

katoranger · 06-16-2009, 04:06 PM

Problem is the branded title. I can't register it. I can make some quick selling the parts though.

This is about the 30th bike I have parted out.

Allen

FastDoc · 06-16-2009, 04:09 PM

What's a branded title?

katoranger · 06-16-2009, 04:11 PM

Salvage/rebuilt/parts only title.

More hassle than the bike is worth to get it registered. This bike is rougher than it looks in the pictures.

No small trick! :!:

FastDoc · 06-16-2009, 07:02 PM

If you don't mind my asking, how much?

katoranger · 06-16-2009, 07:36 PM

$150. I only paid that because it runs. Otherwise I would have only offered about $75-100. He wanted $300, but I had my girls with me and they wanted to go to the park. I made my offer and turned for the truck. Took him about 10 seconds to come down.

Allen

FastDoc · 06-16-2009, 08:09 PM

Cool. You'll make a few bucks on eBay. Too bad mine's almost all different...

Does it have any potential as a track bike?

I would think it's worth a few hundred to have a dedicated bike for track days, and maybe even racing, for those who are interested (not really my thing, but I know a few people).

I've kicked around the idea for my 05, but it's in too good of shape for that.
