I dunno man it just stopped running!

For that price you should be really close to buying a superchicken that is running (at least reasonably) well. It'll need tires, brakes, and the normal consumables, but running.

$1500 for a non-running superchicken is pricey. NADA lists low retail as ~$1900 (that assumes it is a working bike...).

Is it a standard VTR or an RC51? I thought it may have been an RC

[jasnmar]

I didn't see anything indicating it was more than a standard VTR.
Doesn't mean I'm right .

[Degsy]

Standard VTR.

Do you just browse Craigslist all day?

Uh.. yeah, don't you?!

Yep. Apparently browsing my customer's pants is frowned upon

I switched to amazon and motorcycle forums.

Best case scenario he just ran out of gas.

Cct failure is pretty common on these.

That missing rear fairing is pricey..... And fragile....

"no keys or title"

Seems legit. I'm hooking up the trailer now.

I think you'll find that browsing pretty much anybody's pants is typically frowned upon, unless you know the person pretty well.

That's too bad.

not worth the $$$ garrett. if it was a CCT failure (very common) it will need an entire top end rebuild. That is worst case. Best case it is carbs which with time and effort leaves the bike still high for its condition. you have seen the one in my garage and i would be lucky to get 2500-3000 for it.
