- January 01, 2020, 03:56:16 AMIf I can chime in, I'll talk about the local market here in Italy.
As I'm used to look at the net, time by time, just for spare parts and NOS accessories for ma-deuce, I can say there are not so many Drifters for sale but I guess it depends on the relatively small number of sales back in the days when Kawa produced the Drifter.
But there's one thing that always hits my eyes: here in Italy, the 800's are much more priced than the 1500's.
I guess that's because of the cooler style of 800's... 
BTW; HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!

- 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?
