I've been through lots of old bikes and the Vision is no worse than any of them.
Many people figure, its going to take 50 bucks and an afternoon to get it going.
I did a 83 Night hawk for a friend, he sniveled like a baby. He paid 500.00 for it and put that much in it.  He expected to put another 50 in it and sell it for 995.00  I finally got through to him , that fixing up is for riding not selling!
I did the bank of four crabs for 150.00 , any on else would have been 250.00 . Our local stealer gets 350.00 if you bring them in and wont take any bikes over 10 years. Most independant shops get 500.00 to remove and rebuild, reinstall and set up,  a set of four carbs.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!
