[QUOTE="69ST, post: 5345, member: 5"] We're all saying about the same things...be afraid, very afraid;) A whole bike can be shipped anywhere in the lower 48 for less than $200. The key is finding a seller willing to break the bike down into parts & ship them in 3-4 boxes. It gets even cheaper if you don't have the unwanted items sent. Except for the tires, it's easier for the seller to discard the scrap parts than packaging them.

I doubt that any will be blue-chip investments, but any vehicle that doesn't depreciate can't be all bad... if it's what you want. In the nearer-term, bargains can be found, even on ebay. Winter is the time to buy, January through tax time is when prices usually bottom-out. If one is patient, it's even possible to buy the basic bike in pieces. For a full-on project, resto/restomod/custom, relatively few parts are reused, or even worth reusing. [/QUOTE]
