Title: New 1500
Post by: Trall on July 31, 2016, 17:19:26 PM
Hey I just bought a 1500.  I sold my 800 a few weeks ago and was planning on waiting a bit before I bought another one.  In the interim was looking for an jet ski for the family but there crazy high. Still waiting for the jet ski  but waiting for the right one and priced right. After season over maybe I'll find one

Anyhow the big news is wife gave me green flag for another bike since I've been stewing about selling my 800. That and I saw Bambam 2001 sweet Drifter and knew that was the year and color I wanted next. 
Good news is I found a solid one with 7000 miles.  The pic make it look perfect but it has several fine scratches and needs a new paint job and detail inside /out.  That's  my next project.

Here she is-

A few scratches on the paint?  That's nothing.  Beautiful machine.  EXCELLENT SCORE!!!!. . . . . . . but then again, I am a little biased.   ;)

Awwwww, you've been bitten hard by the bug!  Pretty soon you'll be like Greenbarn and have a 1500 and an 800!

Great find man!  Real nice lookin' bike!

Beautiful!

I know the story:
Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back, everyone lives happy forever.

I love those stories!

Most definitely best stock Drifter paint job. It was the one I was looking for north of the border but couldn't find.

Looking good!  That's my favorite factory bi-color combo I think although I prefer black to chrome.  Nice ride!

Nice! Very Nice!

Great paint scheme! Are you keeping those colors?

And two primary questions:

1) In your opinion, is there a big difference in the ride from an 800 to a 1500?
2) What were the most compelling reasons you went  from an 800 to a 1500?

Thanks, I'll listen.
