- January 05, 2013, 09:51:20 AMThat's probably true...and my other Kawasaki, a 2000 W-650, is so rare here in N. America that it makes me angry when I see someone in, say, Australia chopping one...

And second..
some of those 800s and 1500s were probably sold in Japan, they were certainly sold in Britain and Europe so your North American ones might be rarer than you think..

- November 12, 2012, 21:40:11 PMYes Pc, I bought my 99 1500 for $1000, with a kaw/corbin 2 up seat, saddle bags, and backrest & Luggage rack, AND a corbin solo seat that was customized by a man in Tupelo ms with a Ostrich skin cover, and a solo backrest (also Ostrich skin), and bracket for the solo backrest.
I figure I got a $1000 in seats and backrest/luggage racks.. the bike was free...
The only money spent on the bike was a new front tire, new rear shocks, and gas & oil as needed..
Oh, and thanks for the karma you gave me there on the price of my next one, I love you too....

Either he is beside himself joy, passed out on the floor from the shock, or his head is slowly swelling over the new found knowledge of exactly how collectable his bike is over ours (yes i am jealous).
Quote from: 45 Bravo on November 12, 2012, 20:20:58 PMSo wit a minute......you're telling me you picked up a Drifter for $1000? It'd serve you right to have to pay $8000 for the next one just to balance things out!I am not looking to sell, i am talking about the buying side.
I bought mine for $1000, if in a year or so, i go to get my wife a 800, i would hate to be faced with a $8,000 + sticker shock..
