I registered to reply. Thanks for the info that is helpful. It is an 800. I  might see if I can talk them down.

$4500 seems a little high for a 2001, even with no miles on it...The brakes are really easy to work on. It's hard to believe that both systems on board would be inoperable....Easiest way to spot an 800 is to look at the speedo. If you can see the odometer numbers, then it's an 800. If you have to turn on the ignition to see them, it's a 1500.

  Well depends on where you are and what they are worth in your area. Does it have a pair of visible shocks in the back or does it look like a hardtail frame, hidden mono shock, I own an 800 and the brakes are fairly simple and not that expensive to replace and or repair.

Ok so I saw a 2001 drifter at a used car lot. They don't know Motorcycles. It has 2999 miles. And has "no brakes" They  can't tell me if it 1500 or 800 cc. Should I walk away or is it worth the $4500 they are asking plus the cost of a brake job?
