Looks like about 2/3 of a ride with Mrs. Nick to Disney!

Pretty rare bike. One year only, I think. Has the heart of the Speed Triple. $2,200? If you were a soulless bastard, you could make a lot of money parting it out.

What does the actual heart of a speed triple go for at the JY? How much to just do a HG yourself? I'd be ecstatic to have that bike at $4k with some elbow grease. Ok, maybe ... $3500. But still. It's sweet.

One year only bike. People that need a specific part to that model will be desperate. You could probably name your price for the body work and tins.

There is another one without a blown headgasket for 1500 more.

Now that's a cool bike. Never heard of it before. Wish it were closer to Atlanta.

Its true, just look at the immediate before and after. They went from a QC standpoint of "Built in your drunk buddies shed" to "World Class" almost overnight.

That bike looks awesome. Easy fix too for a serious price savings as long as it wasn't' overheated and warped.

Ad's down now. What was it? Single year makes me think Thunderbird Sport but I think those were around for a couple of years in '97 and '98.
