is this a ridiculous price for a dream?

just wondering if $3200 is out of line.

I just sold one a few months ago similar for $3500. took two days to sell. It also had wrong pipes/solo seat. on the other hand it had new paint/good tires/rebuilt motor that ran like a watch/new cables/etc/etc. It also came with a guarantee.
This one? not so much. looks like a tarted up/poorly stored old bike.
$1500----$2000 you probably would'nt go too far wrong. but thats just me, sometimes I'm accused of having my head in the 80's.

to command that kind of money it had better be all stock and original. Original bikes, even if a little rough, command some good money as survivors. But that bike is missing some key items. I think the 1500 to 2000 range might be good, if it's low miles and runs real good with no bad leaks or smoking etc.

Some of this add is BS...rare electronic ignition??? first off you can buy those all day long on the net. second, if the guy could not get the points to work right then he must not been much of a mechanic. what is rare is that nice little headlight hood etc. That is a trick bit of kit.

He should take a beating for adding that funky cable wrap or those moronic tassles. But at least it has the carby covers etc.

If $3200 is your budget, I would pass on this one. For that kind of money you should be able to find a nicer one. If you want this one, I would offer $1000 less. Wrong mufflers and seat, the bars are crazy wide with makeshift harness and cables.

For anything over $2000, $2200, keep looking.
