86er Posted January 13, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 13, 2008 I think they went for about 8900 loaded. But that is just what I seem to recall someone telling me. I'm sure someone will come up with a definite for you from an ad or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think knowing the original price on a bike is going to be that much of a help. Knowing aproximately what a scoot sells for on the used market might?? I usually take the approach that no matter what the cosmetic condition of a bike is, it has issues. A lot of factors enter in to what a used bike will sell for, but the biggest leverage you'll have is if the owner is really motivated to sell. I've picked up five 1stGens for way under what they would have brought on the market, and way under what the owner was asking. How? Because I'm not affraid to make a rediculous offer.... you never know unless you ask. Condition... I really like to see a dusty bike...., mechanicals, how long it's been sitting, and best of all... how long it's been on the market are the best reasons to buy low.. The time of year hasn't been a big price influence, as most of the bikes I've owned were purchased right in the middle of riding season. Hope this helps, and good luck.

AmnChode Posted January 15, 2008 Share #12 Posted January 15, 2008 and best of all... how long it's been on the market are the best reasons to buy low.. Whole Heartedly agree on that one. If they are really wanting to get rid of it, you make one helluva buy. I got my '99 with 18k miles for $5500. However, I ended up having to go through a dealer for consignment so I could get financed, but I was still out the door @ $6950 (TT&L, Helmet, jacket, and gloves)...still a good deal in my eyes, all because it was on the market for a few months with only nibbles.

Yammer Dan Posted January 15, 2008 Share #13 Posted January 15, 2008 "Blue Beast" $2300.00 With a 750 Maxim thrown in the deal. " Black Beauty" $2000.00 Still working on that one. "Parts Bike" FREE Lot of hrs getting it going, couple good rides til frame went down. "Shady Lady" $2500.00 Should have listened to head instead of heart on this one but it will be a good ride. I think I need another one!!! Retire and put parts togather!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagleeye Posted January 15, 2008 Share #15 Posted January 15, 2008 Hey Hipshot, the cost of the 86 new shouldn't have anything to do with anything. That was 21 years ago. I once sold a harley that cost around 3M new for 10M-The original sold for price is irrelevent. Good luck on that 86! Hey Dan, You should get rid of all those parts bikes and buy my 86. All it needs is a rider. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
