It went unsold on ebay.

30 minutes after the auction a friend of mine called and he was going to make a offer on it.

The owner called after that and told me he sold the bike and i was to pick it up for my friend this weekend. Roy

I'm going to venture a guess, Eric from OZ?

9 grand is a steal. The last SR on eBay went for over 11 grand if I remember correctly.

I thought he should have started the auction with a dollar starting bid. That gets people involved in the auction part, and will usually bring in more money.

I'd be disappointed if that was my bike and it went for 9k.

The owner didn't have a clue as to the value of the bike.

The title was wrong on eBay. He should have used the sub decription as the listing.

He didn't detail the bike. What polishing that was done on the bike was done by me.

Simple mistakes that makes great steals on bikes. ;) Roy

A buddy of mine (best man at my wedding) just bought this '83 1000R yesterday.

www.autotrader.ca/result/addetailinfo.as...s&r=40&stfID=5372040

$1200 here in Ontario!
I told him when he's ready to sell let me know.
He's had so many bikes over the years, usually just flips them.
This one is a keeper in my books.

Ha!...it has a split windscreen...let him know he can have an OEM for his bike for US$8000 (I do actually have one)...that way I won;t feel too jealous.
