What do you guys think is a fair price on this? I see a lot of stock stuff (tool box with tools, key switch, brake light, no case damage, pipe, etc.) He says it has new reeds, carb (has original), rear rotor and pads, new sprockets, uni filter, OEM rear plastic, aftermarket front. I asked him if he had receipts for the piston and that and he said no but he does have the wrist pin bearing. He is looking for $2500 but would take $2250. It's not too far from me so I might go look at it anyway but I thought I'd see what you all thought about it.

would be worth checking out seeing the stock exhaust and aftermarket silencer remindes me of how i rode my first R years ago cause i couldnt afford a pipe and started with the muffler so at least it would be louder (things a teenager would do). price seems fair for these parts if its clean. im in western nc but we ride mostly at black mtn offroad and wilderness trail in KY.

Yah the price don't seem bad if all is in good shape and not just looking like it.

Thanks for the link, I bought it today!!

Kidding, looks like a solid deal to me. I'd definitely go check it out to see how clean it actually is though. I'd offer 2k and hope for $2250.. if it's as clean and solid (bearings tight, starts, etc.) as the photos imply I'd even do the 2500.

Thanks everyone. I'll probably go look at it and see what the in person condition is.

at first it looks sharp, but when you really look closely Im not so sure its that good of a deal.  Id offer 1750 and see what happens
