    Is it supposed to say “Warrior” or did Yamaha really make a bike called the “Worrier?” lol

    Not sure if it's a reasonable price?

    Seems good, would want to see the service receipt, maybe Eric Colbath (in Moultonborough) did the work, which would be good. I like that generation, air cooled, I had the 796, I think this one is an 1100, he should state that in the ad. Would be a very fun bike. I hate it when sellers hose down the bike for the wet look for the pics.

    Those handguard-turnsignal-mirror assemblies are fragile and expensive, it doesn't take much to break them. Then convert to something else. When I broke mine (garage tipover), I converted to Barkbusters + bar end mirrors + LED strips for turnsignals:

    Re: The Best bikes on Craigslist

    Grey engine cases indicate that it’s a 796; the 1100 has gold ones.
    Looks like a good price though, those handguard/mirror assemblies are worth at least 1/4 of that asking price.

    I scoop them up whenever I find them in decent condition, I prefer to have the factory ones as spares over going aftermarket...

    The OG Hypermotard mirrors fold out from the handguard which has an integrated turn signal
    Looks slick, but even a minor tipover is usually enough to bust em.
    They havent made them since 2012, so supply and demand means they fetch a good price on the used market

    I will be selling my xv535 virago in the spring. It very much looks its age, but it runs great. Nice and torquey on the low end. PM if you're interested in it.

    Every bike that peeps have sent my way have been forwarded to my daughter. I'm convinced at this point the only way she'll actually get one is if *I* physically go out and grab it for her and say, "here ya go!". I've sent her about 624 bike ads. Problem is, she can't make up her damned mind! Once again, I'll be passing this info on to her.

    Re: The Best bikes on Craigslist

    A friend asked me about Triumphs, this bike looks good, is $3700 a reasonable price for a 2009 Thruxton with 19K miles?

    (Love his write up -- "Cash only, no silly offers... We are not family.")
