Northern Virginia Roll Call

Damn hopefully they repost and/or didn't sell! I hadn't refreshed since yesterday. I should've grabbed the phone number before I did!

 

Was similar to this:

Would eventually turn into something like this:

Be curious to know where the "dents and scrapes" came from. Seems like a decent price though. Of note, that Sporty doesn't have the rubber engine mounts to reduce vibration (but I think those can be retrofitted). I had a 2004 1200 and that thing was pretty smooth.

 

you are free to rummage through my bolt collection

Will let you know. Friday and Saturday are nice weather, so I will be taking advantage of that to paint

Pre 06 is solid mounted and carb'd right? You will have so much fun, but no teeth

 

Man your gonna be living like your in a 5 star hotel!

 

Yeh I would be interested to know the source of the flaws as well. Would want more pictures too - it's hard to tell the extent of the damage from those pictures.

You were spoiled by those engine mounts! I have ridden bikes that have had them, but most I have ridden have not. It's definitely something I would look into.

 

I cant buy something that is carburated. So much effort. Also, dont get a 883. Too slow. Ill look for you, since I am always looking for me. What is your budget? distance range?

I want to start a bike, and not have to worry about choke and if the fuel is on.

 

Only sucks in the winter.

 

I think you are right about the carb, but my 2004 had the rubber engine mounts.

I would be worried that it was possibly layed down at some point. Yep, those mounts were nice! I have ridden the bone-jarring ones as well and never again!

 

I was just mentioning this same thing to John the other day! Though mine would just hold a solar shower. Great minds think alike.

 

My first bike was a Yamaha SR400...had to check the choke, fuel, and it was kick start only. I was always worried about stalling it in traffic.

Edit: +2 on no 883...

 

Here is something, although I am not sure I would buy from Baltimore..

EDIT: I also dont like chrome.. but that is just me.

 

Definitely won't get an 883. I have ridden my friend's and it is way too slow, plus not fun to ride with the wife on the back.

Don't want to spend more than $3500, and I don't want to have to drive more than a couple hours.

I emailed him asking for more pictures and specifically if it had been laid down.

I learned to ride on dirt bikes, then moved up to my Dad's old Harleys, which were all older, then to a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6r, now back to the Harleys.

 

Concur with you on both counts here! Man, I wish I was in the market for another bike! I miss riding...

 

I saw that one. A little too high of mileage for me.

 

not going to be able to get a 48 for 3500

 

That 48 is a beautiful scoot.

 

I know, I know...

I want something older, because I like older stuff, that I can work on and customize a little (I really like bobber style), but that runs, because I will never have the time to work on it.

 

I love mine! (probably paid too much for it. Hope I dont trade it in a year. But I love it!)
