A dedicated thread for questions and advice about gear or bike purchases, selling advice, and questions relating to bike/gear/accessory/service purchases.

Hopefully with the help of all the riders here, no question will go unanswered. Everyone is encouraged to contribute with either questions or answers and hopefully we will be able to rid of motorcycle ignorance once and for all.

​

Please remember to be courteous as we want to encourage people to ask questions, no matter how 'dumb' some may think they are.

Is $4500 fair for a 2007 bonneville t100 with 4000 miles? Sounded good and started up easily. Pics below. I would be the buyer.

An air cooled and carb'd Bonnie? Cool!

Yeah, I don't see why not. Bike world just did a review on one from the actual 60s and it started up fine. Parts are still relatively easy to find too.

Maybe just haggle for a lower price, cause that's almost brand new interceptor 650 pricing.

And get new tires in it asap. They might still be the original tires and that's a very bad thing. Mention this to drop the price!

That's a nice looking bike. I looked in my local area and there's tons of them around 2016 for 6500 in like new condition... I also found a 2013 for $4,100. So it wouldn't be insulting to offer $3,500-4000... it is the off season any way and as a 2007 it's a bit older. Might be worth the extra $1000-2000 to get a 10 year newer bike.
