There`s a cold wind really blowing here today, even tho I have an enclosed and heated cab I`m glad I`m done work early.

I would love love to take a far trip sometime on the bike. I love bikes too, ever since my first one, which was a early 70s yamaha 100 cc street bike. The clutch was screwed and my parents didnt want to spend money on me back then, so I used to push start the bike, and drive it everywhere on our farm. Ya sure learn balance driving a street bike at 100km/h through a worked up field when your 10ish years old haha.

Mind if I ask, whats the "new" to you 'busa worth? Ive seen a few of em for sale from time to time, and they really arent that badly priced ever. The big damn ktm enduro bike I wanted was always more pricey!
we agreed on 7g, and I told him to forget about the damaged pipe, I plan on putting aftermarket pipes on it anyway. I sold my '06 for more with not many less kms on it. The Hayabusa will hold its value more than other sport bikes, but they are a tough sell compared to other sport bikes. Similar to your "enduro" market, limited and unique buyers.

Maybe its just me, but 7g for a bike like that, sure seems dirt cheap!

Just a side note, if you end up just chucking your old pipe (if you get it) opposed to selling it or whatever, set it aside for me. Id like to try and integrate a newer pipe to my xt, Ive seen it done before and it looks pretty badass!

When areya thinking about finalizing the purchase, or picking it up or whatever?

We will get heat yet for sure, the rain has stopped here but man is it ever wet! I went to check out an auction sale, and there is a 53 mercury m100 and a 47 mercury 2 door car that are in amazing shape for sale there!

I was pondering buying both if they sold for around the price of scrap, but theres no way!

KRAUS VEHICLES

Might be too late now though to make it from your place out here. I would imagine the vehicles sell around 2

The 53 looks ok but not overly mint so it shouldn`t bring a real big dollar tho it might be surprising. It certainly would be nice to find out.
