- May 08, 2013, 08:42:30 AMHi Two Theeth Johny,
I'am from Europe too. You can check the german sites www.mobile.de (also in english) and http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-kawasaki-drifter/k0 for a comparison. Also 15x 1500 for sale now 
3000 - 4000 Euro is a fair price for a '99 800, depends on the accesoires, mileage and state.
Here in Holland a '99 800 starts from 2500 euro's ( http://link.marktplaats.nl/670444915 )
Good luck and see you soon with a Drifter!

Ο κ. Δύο δόντια Johnny αγγλικά σας είναι μια χαρά.
and as a 99 blackout version of the ride I took no offence, as for your shyness ....better get rid of it fast if you want to be a Drifter rider because the crowd will come to you.....lol.....
Mr. Green Barn I'll sort you out later....goober.......from a hick in 0hi0.....really....

- May 07, 2013, 14:17:45 PMBelieve me...your English is 100000% better than anybody here's Greek..Good luck with your decision. Last year, someone found out how many Drifters were made over the production run. There were 9,000 of each displacement family. Given the normal crash rates of motorcycles over the last 14 years, probably about half of them still exist. Any Drifter is a find, and once it's YOURS it's gold......

JUST KIDDING!!!
Seriously, though, Johnny, the local market has as much to do with the prices as anything. When I bought mine (2002 800), I paid $3600 USD, got the seller down from $3900. Is was priced right about in the middle of all the 800's for sale within 500 miles.
If I were in your situation, I would rather have the Drifter that wasn't EXACTLY the one I want, and move towards getting the one you like more when and if it becomes available. What everybody else on here said I agree with - they are not making any more and getting into one would be a better way to look for a different one down the road. And like Ratman said, the blacked out ones have their own look, and are pretty darn sharp when done up right.
Keep us informed of what you decide.
