tungul Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 There is a guy in my home town that has a 1980 xs400sg it starts runs good blue tank with metallic flakes I have seen him ride it around town it sounds good pretty clean some rust on the pipes a few dings here and there everything looks decent for a 1980 but he is asking 1100 us dollar and I was wondering if that was a good price or should I wait for a better deal?

road_rascal Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 May be a good deal. I bought my 82 400 Maxim from craigslist a little over a month ago for $725 with 8300 miles. About 2 weeks after that someone else posted the same bike with 6400 miles on it and was asking $1450. I'm assuming it was sold because the ad was taken down in two days. It seems that older low mileage bikes are commanding a big price tag due to rising fuel costs (just my guess). I was looking for a Ninja 250 but those are gone about as soon as they're posted.

Gnash Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Oh yeah. Everybody is buying up bikes right now. Before I found my xs400 for $175, I found a 500cc Ninja for $500! I called the dude on the first day, and on the way over to pick it up it was sold! Same with a '73 Honda350. The guy only wanted $250 fot it. It was about 40 miles away from me. I get in the truck and drive there, and in the time that I called the guy and arrived the bike had sold!! I say, if you really like the bike, buy it before it's gone! I think, any running motorcycle is worth at least a grand! Just offer him $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
