i'd figure a decent rebuild of a bike in that condition, without doing
any cosmetics at $1200-$1500 or so. plus a lot of hours. do it right the
first time. you are not gonna want to pull the motor again because the
rear seal/tranny is leaking. do it right once, and it will last a very
long time. do it wrong once and you'll tear it apart sooner than you think.
| Without getting too specific... I've been saving for a bike for a few years, I wasn't going to buy one until I had the cash to pay for it up front. So, I'm in an interesting situation where I've already got a sizeable chunk of cash that's been earmarked for a bike. Since this bike found me, I'm a bit surprised at myself that I was ready to spend my money on a bike that just about anyone can buy off the showroom floor. I was mentally prepared to spend $7k on a used sporty for a project bike... the same class-less and generic bike that everyone else is riding around. Now I'm thinking, "what can I do to my Guzzi for $7k!?!?!" |
