Indian motif not over the top. There are other options for how the bags attach, but it looks good. How much mileage?

- March 05, 2014, 12:29:34 PMFunds are transferred and shipping is scheduled! I happened to find a sweet 2000 800 Drifter on CL, called the guy, inked a deal, transferred the money, scheduled the shipping, and am going to be getting the bike next week here in Denver!
I'm pretty stoked as the first one seemed to be like it would have been a lot of work and a long wait as the guy was going to try to meet me in mid-April when he drove through the country. I think this one is cleaner and was obviously much easier. I'll add more pictures once I get it in Denver, but here she is:

- March 04, 2014, 19:36:53 PMI nabbed my 2002 800 for $2600. (Can see in the Introduction Thread). Craigslist is my bestest friend in the world. If i'm looking for something that's my first stop.

- March 04, 2014, 17:32:58 PMI'd agree with the others but optional add on's are hard to come by, especially blackout add on's, so that could affect price.

It looks like quality airbrushing, but questionable taste... I've considered emailing about buying the two up seat and rear rack. Never have though. I might have to do that...It's funny you posted the one in Topeka as I saw that last night night and thought what in the heck was that person thinking with the paint?! I personally prefer things to be factory stock when I buy, so the paint was a huge turnoff. It would cost a lot of money to bring it back to a factory look otherwise it could be a decent buy.

- March 04, 2014, 15:33:53 PMI'd say $4500 plus shipping is a good price for a straight stock bike....they are out there. I'm not in the market, but I check all Craigslist....I've seen some low mileage 800s for good prices. Keep looking........800 unadulterated is a good machine.

- March 04, 2014, 13:22:16 PMFor comparison, late last summer I bought a '00 800 with saddlebags, and quite a few other add-ons including a Corbin solo seat, fork bag, rear toolbag, roadhouse exhaust, and light bar for a cash+trade value of $3200. It had 6400 miles on it when I bought it. So there are better deals out there, you just have to look.
If you're in Denver? This one is a lot closer. Has a lot of value in just the extras. Paint is, well, odd, but bike looks to be in good shape overall.

And if you didn't want the 2-up seat, I'm sure someone (like the person typing this...) would be interested in it and the rear rack and could offset some of the price.

Well Chief of course if it is a Canadian import it is well worth any extra cost.
