- I bought this bike off of Facebook Market place. Great looking bike except for the one fender being broken. Has a few problems but I will follow up with what I find.
looks like a amazing purchase man she is in great shape for sure
Reidinson I think it was a good purchase. Hoping to find an old fender to replace the cracked one.
You said the seller was asking way too much, but I see in another comment that you got it for 800 bucks. How much could he have really been asking initially if you got it for 800 in the end?
Thats a $3,000 Big Red with the fender damage and shifter problem.
Another thing, just because it sat for a while without being sold, doesn't necessarily mean he was asking too much. Sometimes it takes a while before the right guy comes along. Generally speaking, unless you're giving it away for really cheap, they will sit until the right guy comes along that is in the market to buy one. That guy, knowing what he should expect to pay, shouldn't have a problem paying 3k for the machine seen in this video.
These things are worth much more than most people think. I sold an all original 1985 250es last year for 5k, it was gone in less than 12 hours of listing.
The market here in Vegas back when I bought the two of them was low. So, I felt $1600 for a machine not running was too high. Luckily a gas tank clean and a carb rebuild remedied both of them. The one needed further work with the gear shift peg. All in all the purchase was a good one. And with prices now it’s a great buy
Got yourself a very low hour big red there bud.. Very nice
Matt Myers Thanks, I’m very happy the shifting problem was an easy fix.
If you can get the puddy off plastic welding is very easy to learn
Nice condition. Good luck with her.
Joseph Costello Thanks, got its mostly together. Repaired the shifter spring today. Waiting on the carb to come back with the update.
Nice bike
Thank you, looks like a steal a few years later.
Sure would be nice if you would just say the priced first asked and the price you got it for. Oh well.
I don’t usually talk price. But I will say I only buy things that are a good deal.
Why don't you mention the price? that's what everyone wants to know. What's the big secret there?
John Patterson $800
@@Matthewwardlow Incredible deal! I wish I could find a deal like that.
@@Matthewwardlow Dang, you stole it! Good job. Clean your pilot jet & you'll be good. Probably running rich if it starts without choke also.
Can you register one of these and drive it on public roads?? What’s the top speed
Jak3 you will have to check with your local laws. Most require brake lights and turn signals. Where I live they are considered ORV and cannot be used on public streets.
Should i buy one foe $750?
muddin bros depending on the condition and if it’s running sounds like a decent deal.
So what's is the value on these bikes? I just picked one up and feel like I got a steel.
Brittany Cato it all depends on condition and originality.
@@Matthewwardlow ok. The one I got is in really good shape and runs perfect
That’s great! They are a lot of fun! Enjoy
What are these going for on the average?
Not sure. I’ve seen prices anywhere from $1200-$5000. Depends on condition and location.
You paid $800 for this?
@@0001070181 It was either $750 or $800. I had bought two of them the same week.
