83 vision in NY $500

[d0n]

I just got a new engine for my helix scooter so I've decided to sell the vision. I'm looking to sell it quick for $500. I've got 3 times that into it. It runs awesome. You could probably ride it home but it does need the starter clutch repair now. It's starting to make some noise. I haven't been riding it since the noise started. I have the owners manual, service manual, title and a bunch of other paperwork. 23k miles.
Picture below was taken 2 years ago. Now it has plently of surface rust from being stored in a moist warehouse last winter.

Bring $500 and come pick it up in Troy ny 12180.

what time Saturday should I be there?

[d0n]

I can be here anytime this weekend.

I'm offering it for $500 because I just want to move it. It's not getting any use and I don't really want to do the starter clutch repair that it needs.

She's got tons of new parts. Fork seals, tapered steering stem bearings, both tires (maybe 400 miles tops on the dunlops), rebuilt carbs, fresh engine oil, fresh gear oil, air filter, gas filter, new ngk plugs, battery is 3 years old and is good, K&G rack w/backrest and more that I can't remember right now.

The front brake cylinders should be rebuilt but the brakes work fine now.

let me check a few things first, but I'd hate to see you give it away to just anybody......
in the mean time.... it's fair game to anyone (just don't tell dj,   :-X k?  ;) )

Price is right for me to talk the wife into it, especially since I'll be getting a reenlistment bonus in a few months, but the distance is a little to far away.  That would be about a 12-14 hour drive each way.

[d0n]

If it doesn't sell in a week or so I'll part it out on ebay.

[kwells]

that sounds like a veiled threat.

[GT @ oh.]

Why don't you want to do the clutch repair? Its not hard at all... and would take less then 8 hrs.... and thats with driving time to the hardware store....parts are cheap as well.

[zore]

199 miles.  HMMMM.   ;D  I'm going to seriously think about this.

[kwells]

thats not far to travel really

[zore]

No it's not.  My problem will be justifying 4 bikes in the garage.  2 being visions.  I was more interested in the carbs, front end and rear shock for my bike but it looks so darn pretty in the picture, I'd hate to rip it apart.

[dj]

Just checked mapquest and it is only 401.25 miles.  Approx 6 hours and 40 minutes.  not as far away as I initially thought.  Tempting.......

[h2olawyer]

Save it from becoming eBay parts!  Bad enough to scrap a titled 82.  Scrapping a titled, running 83 could be grounds for justifiable homicide!!!   ;)  Especially when it needs a starter clutch & cosmetics.  Someone out there please save this V.

that would make 3 Visions outa 4 for me  :o I also had bad thoughts about parting it.... naw.....

yeah, you had me going with that 14 hr. trip thing..... thought you we're really an eskimo or newfy or sumthin'

dOn, I called my bro.. he'll call me tomorrow night after he sleeps on it...

:'( Uh, uh NOT ME...Can't afford a third D.I.V.O.R.C.E...Besides, wedding cake gives me heartburn ;D ;D :D :D :D :D :D... ;)

[ShaneSpring]

Damn, wish it was a little closer to me  :)

[ps2/bikevision]

my buddy would kill for this bike. If it dont sell let me know ill get him out there to get it.   

do not put it on ebay.

[d0n]

Please don't expect the bike to look that nice when you come look at it. There are now small spots of surface rust all over the tank (which has been kreemed by the way) and the exhaust.

[Cdnlouie]

What conditions is the exhaust?  Are there any holes in them?  How long has the tank been Kreemed, recently or longer? What condition are the tires?

Would be nice to find a "good" home for the old girl.  I am at my garage limit as well but am always moved in the presence of an 83 Vision.

It's a shame you are selling it. I drove by your place 3 fridays ago and it was under a cover. No car out front so no stoping.
Gentlemen
last summer I did stop, no one was home, and this bike looked very good at that time. Yes it had spent some time in the weather but it was not hurt. Someone from this board should grab this one is d0n is not keeping it. d0n you should get some updated pictures to show it's current condition.
