$3,500 for a 1975 XL350?!

This one may be worth it.

Nice job. Still not worth $3500.00.

FastDoc · 12-30-2013, 12:04 PM

Hard to put a value on it.

Not many XL350's get restored to that level. If it was a more commonly restored model (CB175/350/500/750) there would be a precedent.

I'd give maybe $2,000 for it.

I know a guy from church who is also a patient. He has a group of buddies who take very long challenging rides on restored antique 'adventure' bikes. I bet this is one of his creations.

Okay, I don't surf CL much although I did find the CX there. I was bored yesterday and spotted this. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/bik/4215228883.html

Right up my other alley.

Weldangrind · 01-01-2014, 04:53 PM

That's really cool! You could easily hold a vintage picnic basket, replete with a lovely single malt in there.

Is it a fair price in your studied opinion?

**cheesy** · 01-01-2014, 06:51 PM

More than fair, considering Raleigh Sports/Superbe bikes with two wheels seem to go for $400/500 around here. Although, I consider most to be worth fifty to a hundred range.

Mrs.C has already stated I can't get it. She doesn't believe in N+1.

FastDoc · 01-01-2014, 08:43 PM

I am an N+1 guy, especially for a good price :-)

Space is another issue though.

Resilience through redundancy! Why doesn't that compute in the female mind?

FastDoc · 01-02-2014, 02:00 PM

Math does not compute with the (usual) female mind...

The Rat remains for sale.

Weldangrind · 01-07-2014, 06:58 PM

Is it really an XL? Even if it isn't, you could likely DS the bike and make money on it. The China motor probably has the correct 12v stator.

FastDoc · 01-07-2014, 07:01 PM

It's an XR.

It has a battery and a good stator and a headlight already. All it needs is a mirror, taillight and blinkers.

FastDoc · 01-07-2014, 07:02 PM

It was the best trail bike I ever had.
