    I would love to get a old V-max to play with, but you are right, that is so NASTY I would have to pass. I would sure run the VIN before you pick that one up. hint...hint.

    If (and this is a big if) the bike was prepped for storage properly (and in a climate-controlled space), that could be exactly what happened.

    I was going to ask for a picture of the hole in the barn;)
    Ok my bad form but good that someone has helped the bike to live on . RIP the previous owner will be happy that someone saved his baby.

    Dreaming--- you're not kidding!!!

    It's perfectly legal to buy a bike, not sign, then flip. Then person who eventually signs as buyer fills out the forms as if he bought it right from the owner who's name is on the title. The "middlemen" are not in the picture.

    And it's complete, too.... except for the missing and/or broken stuff--- lol

    And the price will only go up--- even though it was marked down from $1750.....

    Not for me, that first one with that huge exhaust on the right side. I see the pegs are way back, one must look like superman trying to fly when you ride that. The diesel has those nice open pulleys, scary for me.

    By miles and looking at that exhaust, seems pretty steep to me.
