I responded to what seemed like a deal too good to be true on CL. The guy called me back and we started to gab, come to find out this guys was my neighbor that I ran into a couple of times!... He explained he was trying to come up with some cash quick and needed to sell one of his bikes... I said sure, I'll take a look at it. Why not right? Roll the mile down the road go into his garage and found a gem of a motorcycle... I didn't really need to dicker much, with a clean title and Bill of sale I walked away with this find for only $2500...
2004 Honda VTX1800. (C I think?) 22k miles. Fresh tires and oil, Brakes and rubber bits are in great shape. Engine is exceptionally torquey and quite quick for it's heft. Vance and Hines pipes, Power commander, K&N air filter.
Oh There isn't blemish on the thing either...
It came with the stock exhaust, and some other bits. The thing is covered in aftermarket goodies... All honestly I'll be stripping it down and doing some more custom (to my liking) work to it... For the price I just couldn't say no.
My neighbor was super appreciative and was glad to see it go to me. He's an older gentleman and he can't ride as much as he wants to these days. Told me some MC stories (came with the deal I guess). It was a great experience, no one lost on this deal. Just reciprocated good vibes!
So once it warms up I'm going to start stripping it down and customizing it for me... To tell the honest truth I was looking at buying an Indian Scout or Victory Gunner sooner vs later and dropping $5K and financing the rest... When I ran into this deal I decided to keep my coin in the bank instead and buy this one outright. It's quite the machine! Goes very very well too, gets up to 100 pretty damn fast. I'm happy... If I don't like it down the road, I could sell it in the spring and nearly double my coin...
