whatcha think?
$2000.00

I think US$2000 is fair but things to watch out for are:

1. All that supposed engine work and extended swingarm just screams 'thrash me!'. This bike may have had a hard life.

2. Find out why the owner is using 1981 body work instead of 1982 body work...this means either it is a 1981 bike or the body work was replaced and this might mean accident...which says things about handling and front end.

The more I look at it, the more I think it is a 1981 model, engine cover, left side, has been replaced with 1983/4 model. If the current owners says it is a 1982 (check the VIN, both frame and motor) then he may actually not know much about the bike which brings into question all the internal motor mods...

i came home from work and these gals were in my drivway sunning themselves...they said they wanna hang out with me....what should i do????

yeah im guessing its had a lot of hard miles but it looks like its got a bigblock from the pictures anyway,sounds reasonable enough if the title/vin match up i guess.
