Price for '99 Drifter

[49Reo]

Welcome aboard! Just in case no one else mentions it, WE LIKE PICS!!!! When you get a chance.

[DC]

Bought my 99 drifter for $4k w/ 32000 on the clock.  Then again, this was me leaving a business card in the dude's seat 4 months prior and letting him know how much I knew about the original drifter, had wanted one since 99 and it had a bit of scuffing from saddle bags w/o proper brackets installed.... everything is situational.  I don't regret it one second either... friggin' LOVE this bike!

Welcome to the Forum, Rottyman!   

If you get a chance, post a message in the Introductions forum and tell us more about yourself and your ride.  We'd also like to see some pics of your wheels too, of you have some.

Love the exhaust, but what's the story on the passenger footpegs?

[tim1]

Darn it, photo did not take, try again.

[tim1]

found it, will take some new photos of her! May have snow here in Portland ore today, but it is nice and warm in the shop where my bikes live. Probably will not do craigslist for awhile.  Tim

[ChilliDrift]

certainly,.. you could put it on now I suspect. its all donation supported.  I imagine its free. look around the main vdr website.

[tim1]

Would I be able to put my bike on the classified board here? Thanks  Tim

[ChilliDrift]

Very cool ride. I hope it relieves your riding position.  Good that you don't need to sell. Seems like guys start getting the itch in spring. I did..

[tim1]

Here is a photo of bmw, can wait till june to sell, no problem at all. Really want to keep all the drifter stuff for the new owner as you can't find this stuff.Stock seat and extra bag rails, stock exhaust system,custon luggage rack.

[ChilliDrift]

Rough time to sell it, if you can wait ea few more months you'd of course be better off, or do you live in the warmer attitudes?. Anyway ,I believe its worth it. But they aren't going for that. Some guys say, sell the extras seperate, but even that won't generate as much money this time of year. All you can do is try. I'd like to see your new bike with hack. Good luck.

[tim1]

Ya know with all the work I did to my drifter,new tires,service,dual exhaust,phat2 risers,crash bars, i am gonna sell her.Hips still bother me, so bought a bmw 1200lt with a hannigan sidecar. Anyway, do you guys think that 6500.oo would be fair. 01 with 16k and with oem saddlebags and corbin 2 up seat new, have all the oem take off items! All black paint. No indian decals, not my thing. Thanks  Tim

[ChilliDrift]

yea 45 I think your deal was the best... your still waiting onthat keyswitch?.. that sucks.  hope your back on the road soon. Yo

I threw in a Bushmaster AR15 with Eotech sight, competition trigger job, extra ammo, extra mags. If that doesn't convey how much I loved (and still do) that Drifter, nothing does. The Bushmaster was a sweet piece and highly modified despite being fairly new.

Unfortunately for those of us in the US, If you wait probably 6 or 9 months from today, you could have just traded the rifle and accessories, and sold the honda free and clear.
I still think i have one of the best deals here, I paid $1000 with a 2up Kaw/Corbin, a Corbin solo that had been recovered to Ostrich skin by a shop in Tupelo, Backrest, saddlebags.

So far, only spent maintenance, new Front tire, and am waiting for a new Keyswitch.
and Gas..

Beats my deal!

[ChilliDrift]

That's a good deal... Not as good as Trolls.  But darn good.

I got my 1500 "99" blacked out model 3 weeks ago he wanted $4400 had it sold at $4200 but she would not start so guypassed on it he wanted $3700 i got down to $3400 and when i drove 4.5 hours away ut did not start everytime but i wanted it and offered him $3000 and he took it. It was neglected and dirty but i have cleaned her up new pkugs oil and 50/ 50 cooling waiting to be installed when i get a chance i would not sell mine at all :-D!!!! Its a cool bike.  Goid luck. Mine has  28000 miles on her.

Traded a 05 Honda VTX-1300R that had less than 3K miles  (paid $5,000 for it) towards an 02 Vulcan 1500-D drifter that had less than 10K miles, a fancy paint job, new brakes, decent rubber, Mustang seat (2 up, w/fringe). Besides the free and clear Honda, I threw in a Bushmaster AR15 with Eotech sight, competition trigger job, extra ammo, extra mags. If that doesn't convey how much I loved (and still do) that Drifter, nothing does. The Bushmaster was a sweet piece and highly modified despite being fairly new.

The dealer (small) actually wrote the deal up as even trade so that I could get my state registration etc. for only 10.00. I had owned the Honda for only long enough to get the title back from the state. I traded it the same day. My plans for customizing the Honda would have made it more expensive than the already tricked out Drifter.

I have added a few things to the drifter including a competition clutch spring (HD) that helps her lock up right away without all that slipping around. No, I don't race. But wow, what an improvement. Stay thirsty my friends!!

Nice!! Love those "old school" colors.

It's another Continent, but this is my experience.
I bought one and a half year ago my '99 800 with shield, guards, saddles and backrest por 3000eur and with 32.000kms on the clock. It was in perfect condition. Markets is so tight my the few drifters on sale, and algo by the huge crisis we are living now in Spain. Drifters are offered now at 5000eur, and i know one that has been sold for 6500eur, just becaurse the buyer just want it....jejejejeje
Here in Europe we prefer the 80 just becaurs the carburettor, the hidden rear shock and the colorurs. Thet purple red of the 1500 is not "strong" enough to be seen on the road and to deferenciate from hd bikes

[tmassey]

as far as price tag for selling....nope....can't put a price on something that proven to be " PRICELESS "

IMHO.........TERRY

[tmassey]

thanks...everywhere i go i have to wipe drool off it.....just kidding
