- December 31, 2019, 14:02:00 PMI'm in Clearwater FLA, just a few miles west of Tampa.
A quick search here shows 5 of the 800 Drifter and 9 of the 1500 model for sale within a 300 mile radius.
That's 14 within a 15 minute to 5 hour drive from me.
What I've seen is there's a bunch for sale, then very few, then another bunch, a lot of times seeing the same bike relisted at a different price. When I found mine in August, it was only 1 of 4 that were for sale at the time within the same range, only it was 5 minutes from where I work so I got real lucky; I wanted an 800, I wanted it in black and relatively low mileage. I hit the jackpot.

I found my 1500 Drifter on Kijiji (in Canada) at which time there were approximately 6 in Ontario and more than a dozen in the Province of Quebec which is where I eventually found the one I presently own, I have been watching the resale market for Drifter 800's (in Canada) which I was hoping to buy someday in the future.
Presently in Kijiji , in all of Canada there are two 1500's and one 800 cc available up in Moose Jaw. There are none I could find in Auto Trader. Has anyone one else noticed the scarcity of resale Drifters lately? I notice there are more in the States than Canada but are they getting harder to find down there also?
