Ya I know I took a hit on the trade, but I needed transportation right away as my wifes car took a **** and she needed mine. The right front frame rail, inner fender, and a small part of the firewall has creased and needed serious straightening at the least, in my eyes it needed a new front clip.
And since you collect Zeds, you're sure to hate me for this...
The vin was in the low 12,000s. Everytime I saw an early 240 I would check the vin, including 3 years of JCCS and 2 years of Canby, and never found a lower vin, or one anywhere close. It was 100% original down to the shift ****. It ran like new and tranny was buttery smooth. The seats were redone, but all of the vinyl inside was in great shape and with a little cleaning looked new. Hell even the dash wasn't cracked. It was parked in 82 and I got it last year, boiled the gas tank, blew out the fuel lines and changed fluids and after getting fuel to the carbs it started first time every time. I didn't want to get rid of the car, but I still have a 69 2 door 510 project to keep me occupied.
This is what I originally wanted to do with the car
Here she is

Bought my 1999 new in 99 for like $8900 and still have her sleeping in the garage. Only 11k on the clock too (5 other horses to ride..).
Someday she will be replaced by a DUCATI..
I'll let it sit in the garage before I let her go for $2000 tho.

Bought my 05 Hawk today actually. Paid 4500.00 all in at the dealer. Came with a ton off add-ons like steel braided lines, led kits, etc etc. Has a little under 15k on it. Not even a scratch on this thing. It went through the shop and they did cam bearings I believe.

Bought my '98 in February '07 for $4,000 with 9300 miles on the clock. She came with RT One High mounts. Since then I've changed the oil, installed a Yamaha R/R, APE CCTs, polished the wheels and put 10k miles on her. No complaints here!

Buying one in the am. 2002 w/ 9k miles for 3000. Fair deal? I need cheap transportation to work with gas at 4 bucks and no end in sight.
It is bone stock and I've been looking at pipes on eBay. Danmoto..I've read a few post on here but seen different pictures than the ones that are on eBay today(4-2-2012). They are on there for 263 right now. Can anyone commit on them pipes...thanks

My first was a 1998 with 28000 on the clock, a bit beat up but seemed to run good and had a ton of extras. 2200.00
Then 3 months and tons of headaches later I found it had a bad motor, can tensioner blew on former owner, he only fixed one cyl.
Second 2002 superhawk was a roller with title, no plastic and about 5000 miles. It was an impound. 500 bucks with a title.
Fast forward 2 years, 3000.00 total investment with a sweet hookup from a former vtr owner on a bunch of new parts and with some elbow grease...
I am now riding my frankin- chicken
Wohoo

00' for $2300 42k miles, jardine exhaust, broken right upper fairing, trex sliders. Broken brake pedal, new contimotion tires. Needed some work needless to say but in Hawaii it was a good deal kbb was 3k for my zip. New tires was a plus. Not bad for a liter bike on a limited budget

I don't usually play this game, but, I am still pretty jazzed about the deal I got. 2002 VTR from a guy who rode it Tennessee, it had 17500 miles on it and I paid $3000.00 for it. Included in the deal was a sargent seat, bike cover, tank bag, soft side bags and a set of barely worn teknic leathers, (they fit like a glove since the PO was my same size). Bike was completely stock without CA emissions. I don't know if it's a smokin deal but I'm pretty happy with it.

I paid $3000 for my 98' in spring of 2012. Has a ton of custom parts, JD suspension (little lite for my size) woodman clip ons and rearsets, don't think I can list all the extras on the bike. PO did give me a full set of bags, cover and the org exhaust. I think I paid too much really but I like it.
