Should I buy this bike?

**guest589745** · 07-08-2006, 04:24 PM

My buddy's sellin this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Harle...spagenameZWDVW

Said he can give it to me for 10 even though the reserve is $13,000 if noone buys it. This'll be the first bike I am buyin personally and I know very little about em mechanically an shit, just how to ride basically. I plan on fixin it up and sellin it for more if I can.

Whatya guys think?

holy shi+ heck ya man, jump on that... thats a sweet lookin bike!

I would ask some questions before making an offer.

1. Is it titled as a Harley?
2. Is that a Rev Tech engine in there? Rev tech are NOT Harley engines, so if it is, it may have been swapped or upgraded, but rev tech is a Korean engine. its ok , but NOT a harley or an S&S engine
3. What is the transmission type? 5 speed or 6
4.Does NOT look like a true Harley to me, but I could be wrong.
5. I see no gauges on the bike???

Ok, good questions sman......

i think it look hella tight

No sweat man, I have several so I know a bit of what to look for. Just doesnt' look like a Harley that he is claiming it is. Probably just a custom bike, and if so, I would be curious about how it is titled.

May effect how you can insure it depending on where you live. Most custom builts have to be titled as a "special construction" or "reconstructed" title

Which lowers the value
Just keep your eyes open and know for sure what you are getting

It's definately a nice bike, but you will have to make the choice.

No way man it's a hog.

It looks nice in the pic. Is there any way you can see it before you pay?

**guest589745** · 07-08-2006, 07:20 PM

Eh, more pics but thats about as close as I can get to it before and IF I get it.

Well let us know what happens, I am curious as to how he answers those questions for you

He said hes sayin harley on it cause it is similar to one and to get more traffic but it is just a custom bike, not an ACTUAL harley. Showed me pics of it in some magazines too.

probably a bike made from basket cases...lots of those on ebay as "custom". I personally wouldn't pay 10 for it specially w/o an S&S engine. But I don't think that is an unreasonable asking price.

that bike is so sick...i just emailed the guy offering him 12 for it and id come pick it up
