Hello,
I've been "lurking" around here for quite a while and really like the site.
Here's my deal ;
I've been away from bikes for about 25 years, now with the kids up and gone "Mom" and I are going to play some and we've decided that an 1800 VTX would be a good "toy".
Being the new guy; I've got some questions...
We've located an 1800 Retro (spoke wheels) with 4500 mi. It's an '02 that's pretty much stock except for some chrome items the man put on. (no bags or windshield). The bike has an extended warranty until Mar. '07.
The machine looks pretty good and sounds fine. He said the Dlr. did all maintenance. I think I can get this bike for around 6800 dollars.
My questions are :
Is there anything I should pay particular attention to when looking at the bike ?
Does the price sound about right ?
Is there a problem transferring the warranty ?
One other question, this guy placed some stainless steel "trim" pieces at various places on the bike (pianted areas) with double faced tape.
Do you think they'd come off with out ruining the paint ?
'Look forward to hanging around.
Thanks, Mossy Beard
