FS: Honda Valkyrie 2003

I'm going to miss her.

Lynn

 

At least the cash helps you feel better and opens the door to other
options.

 

Just because I always seem to notice the most insignificant detail,
the Ebay listing says the bike is financed through Honda. But, other
text says the title is clear.

What am I misunderstanding?

Just because I always seem to notice the most insignificant detail,

The Ebay listing for titles has the choices of Clear, Damaged or
Salvage. So, I chose Clear. The title just has a lien on it.

Thanks,
Lynn

 

Perhaps, but Lynn does note added bags and windshield.


Gary

 

That's my misunderstanding, thanks....


Gary

 

Pasadena Honda has the same bike for less than you are asking brand new with 0 miles. They have had them all summer. I just sold

Do the windshield and hard bags not count ? They are $1,300 of extras.

Actually, the reserve is $11,800. I would probably take $11,500 right now.
Lower than that and I will keep her for a while.

Thanks,
Lynn

 

Well, if Lynn does decide to part the bags/windshield, I may know
someone interested in one or maybe both.


Gary

 

Perhaps, but Lynn does note added bags and windshield.

Yep. That'll add another $5k to the price.

 

True. Most options add ZERO at selling time. At most they only help slow
depreciation. Much better to remove them and part them out. That way
you're more likely to get 50 cents on the dollar instead of nothing.

 

Want to make a Bet - I'm willing?

Nope. Got a bug enough bet running right now !

Actually, my ebay fee to date is $39.95. It will cost another $30
when somebody meets my reserve price.

Thanks,
Lynn

 

My guess is that you'll keep her. It's a shame, but folks typically won't

Probably true. At $240 per month to Honda finance, it is not a big burden.
I just got stupid and bought a new big house in April also that is dragging
me down. And the boy went back to TAMU this summer which was a
real good thing except for the $4,000 bill. Suddenly, cash is short.

I also got a good scare a couple of weeks ago. A little grey haired old
lady in a Crown Vic nearly tboned me in the First Colony Mall parking
lot after I picked up the 18 yr old from her job. If she had been going
about 3 mph faster, both of us would have lost our left legs and more.
There was absolutely nothing I could have done about it.

If not, the good riding season is approaching and I will try again next
spring if I want to. Otherwise, 75 F days are fast approaching.

Thanks,
Lynn

 

Hey Lynn.. I know that motorcycle that you are selling.. They are few and
far between, but there are buyers out there that appreciated the Valkyrie..
Now that Honda has stopped production on them, that bike should bring the
price you are asking if you are patient..

All but one of these turkeys that are giving you all this "good" advice, are
not qualified to make the claims they are making.. Don't be discouraged..
YOU know what you've got invested in that motorcycle and YOU are the only
one to make the decision of what you'll take for it..

Unless you just happen to be financially desperate..which I don't think that
you are, just sit tight.. these guys are not going to buy the motorcycle,
anyway.. no matter what price you put on it..Hang in there, pard.. Either
someone will pay the price you are asking, or you can ride it out, on a
damned awesome motorcycle, I might add..

Yowza. My bride and I are house shopping now... one of the areas we're

New Territory is the best place. Just the traffic is a pain. It is an old
Pecan orchard from the 1880s. I just paid $278,000 for a 3500 ft2
2 story 5 bedroom 4 bath with a 3 car garage. Just in time for the 21
yr boy and the 18 year old girl to leave. Only one kid left (for the
moment). The three of them were driving me crazy when they were
sharing one bathroom - we actually almost had a fist fight in the
hallway between two of them before I broke it up. Oh well, we have
plenty of space for them to come home to when they want.

Expect to pay $80/ft in New Territory. Slightly cheaper in the older
neighborhoods in First Colony. Sugar Lakes is also cool (and less
traffic) but get ready to pay and pay ...

Now is a good time to buy, 5.5% 30 year money is cheap ...

Lynn

 

Why you selling her?

I'm overextended. Not enough money in and too much going out.
Very simple formula that is so easy to violate.

Lynn

 

Sounds like a deal, and kudos to the kids for leaving on schedule.

The 21 yr old boy will be back. He is junior at TAMU. Or, he may

Sugarwood is nice. Watch out for termites. BTW, they are getting ready
to build about 30 new zero lot line homes on Oyster Creek behind Fluor
Daniel (where the horse pasture is right now). Bring a big wheelbarrow full
of money for those waterfront homes ! The alligators in oyster creek are
free though (except they eat your dogs and cats) !

Cool !

Yes, I am screaming at Ebay about it ! They do not have a method for me
to restart my listing so I am screwed. I will probably relist it tomorrow and
pay another $40.

This is the last time that I use a buy-it-now at Ebay.

I sold my last bike on Ebay just fine. And got what I wanted, $3500 for a
2000 NH 750.

Wow, Lynn, I went to see how your auction was doing, and I see some fool

I have relisted the Valk at
