Keep looking. I seen good 1200s around here go for around 3000. I paid 1900 for mine. its not cherry but does the job. get a northern bike if you can

I guess every state is different because back in 2003 my son purchased a wrecked and titled as salvage 2000 Mazda Miata then imported it to Canada, repaired it and sold it here fully safety checked and legal. Maybe someone at the DMV forgot to check off some key boxes on the forms along the way or maybe something got lost in the cross border process?

We are luckier in Ontario - all we have to do is have the vehicle pass a structural inspection test to have the brand changed from salvage to rebuilt

I just sign on Friday the title over to State Farm.

The bike in Florida, I look at was so bad. I would be better off keeping own bike.

I called him, he told me is a running bike, everthing works.

Then when I got there, there was a dime size hole in a plastic oil reserve.

Then he told me that he will not start the GW.

I drove 90 miles one way for nothing.

He totally misinformed me.

My nieghbor has a 1800 GW that went with me. We both agree it was not worth $2500 maybe $300 as parts bike.

Thank you Firstwing85. I pm him.

I have to investigate travel up there. Some to look at first if possible, before I pay for transportation to get up there.

My transportation cost will be about $300 to get there and another $200 in gas to get back to Florida.

I hope it works out for you,
I did quite a bit of work on mine last year when I bought mine.
this bike looks good to me, might need a bit of cosmedic repairs but looks like a reliable bike otherwise.
good luck with that my friend. :d :d

that looks like a great deal - let us know how it works out - nice to see a good bike go to someone who will enjoy it

That's a shame, it sounded like a good deal and pictures can sometimes be deceiving. I looked at one online once at Apollo beach Fl once that sounded and looked great in picture and looked like crap in person. Rusted everywhere, broken plastic everywhere & and no brakes I found out on test drive.
