Crayvex posted:That's an insane price. The old Kawasaki police 1000's go for more than that with higher mileage.(referring to the BMW cop bike) I think that's because the kawasakis will run forever and you can replace the clutch for like 80 bucks, but the BMW's clutch is 700 or something not counting labor? this is just want the cop who gave me lessons on KZ1000s was telling me. The new bmws are expensive as poo poo, and need maintenance more often because they have a car-style clutch that wears out from slipping, and the KZs have something like 7 plates swimming in oil. he seemed pretty unimpressed. and he was hungarian, so I don't think he had inborn distrust of furners.

Z3n posted:BMW clutch job means essentially splitting the bike in half, and they do use a single plate dry clutch rather than your more typical wet, multiplate clutch. Dry clutches will wear faster and do have less resistance to glazing than wet clutches, but it's not like it's going to instantly explode if you slip it too much. ok first off Dr Zero posted:and second off, I think the idea is, it's had alot of use, so, if the clutch hasn't been replaced lately, it might need to sooner than later, and that's an expense to think about. I don't know about maintaining the rest of the bike, but I think the guy's emphasis on it was because he spent alot of his time replacing clutches on the KZs he was using as learner bikes, which makes sense. It's just my thought, because I was thinking about getting a KZ1000 at first (hunting them down became a pain, so I stopped bothering), and I was assured that, well used or not, they're easy to maintain and last forever, and in contrast the BMWs were expensive and difficult.

Doctor Zero posted:Actually, I was calling bullshit on the fact that he claimed that it was a "car clutch" and wasn't intended to be slipped. Cut me some slack. It's more car-style than not. What's the functional difference, other than the fact that it's not as heavily built?

zen makes a good point. He's not one of those guys who can have like a road bike and a play bike and a race bike. you know, one of those guys who's walled himself inside his garage like the cask of amon tilado with decadent machinery purchases. So quit acting like that's even an option. http://www.starklite.com/FORSALE/1947_Indian_Chief_grc.htm

it fell because I saved it in a spectacular display of piloting from an ancephaletic soccer mom on her cellphone in an SUV, while riding in a flash-freeze in january, and I went on to repair it with better-than-original parts. Between repairs and the spirit animal that now lives in the bike filled with courage of the bear and the cunning of the tiger, the value has increased 10%. somebody get that guy an SA account.

FuzzyWuzzyBear posted:At least the seller indicates that yes, it does contain elementary particles. Seems pricy for an old bike with "quarks," I would only be paying that much if everything worked on it or if it was rare and I wanted that particular model. I honestly wouldn't pay for anything that decays in a matter of nanoseconds. I mean, you're just going to have to pay for the superconductor to create more, and that's like, what... 20-30 million depending on whether you can get a deal on a Z-pinch?

Z3n posted:Ahh, the infamous supermoto paradox. The idea of hooligan enjoyment where you have to pick your locations. It's like every alcohol commercial on tv now; Drink a jackass amount of our poo poo, responsibly. I don't hooligan wheelie for miles at a time on public roads while drunk often, but when I do, it's supermoto and dos equis.

frozenphil posted:Would you consider trading for a bike of equal value that you could flip just as easily, if not easier (my 2009 Ninja 250)? I haven't really tried that tactic yet, but I think I might ask. It never hurts to ask. Worst case scenario you just have to go back to haggling.

Part your kidney out. They don't need the whole thing in one go, they can take slices. You'll get a higher return. Then you can start buying slices to replace and flipping them for a profit.
