+1 Graham knows what he's talking about. Locked up calipers are pretty
common on a bike that has been sitting. Even if they weren't locked up I'd
recommend taking them apart along with the master cylinder, as they are
sure to be full of snot, and the master cylinder return port is probably
I went to see the '84 650 this morning, it had a few plastic tarps on it, not
too much snow on it. Paint and chrome are in very good shape. The forks have
some light rust sprinkles that are easily wiped off, fuel tank looks rust free.
The front wheel was locked due to the calipers being seized,
Gunk and corrosion will be seizing the calipers. You will need to take the
system apart and clean, probably Same with the clutch. Carbs will probably need
to be removed and cleaned before it will start. Bought a 1983 650 in the fall
in worse shape for $100, Graham

I would think your concern would be mostly, if not completely cosmetic. If it
looks good, being outside one winter probably isn't a big deal.

I just came back from seeing the nighthawk, it wasn't as clean as I thought it
would be: some rust, paint was scratched and scuffed, chrome was peeling off.
The seller couldn't find the keys either, so we couldn't check the gas tank
either. The seller works at a dealer and he picked up the NH

Every year, just before spring, the itch to go get a motorcycle gets me.
I've been wanting to ride for 18 years
I spoke to the seller, I'll test drive it next Sunday :)

I made a similar list when I bought my VT750C2 last year. It makes it a lot
easier to track what's happening to it indeed.

Thanks! I hope everything will be well with it tomorrow when I see it. I am
really excited about it. I spoke to the seller a bit today to get his
address and get some more info at the same time. He bought it from his
friend 2 years ago and didn't ride it since. He says that when he bought it
That's about 36,000 miles. I would call that just a little above average
miles. I have about 33,000 on mine.

considered selling my '85 650, but my wife wouldn't let me. She has taken a

That's a great list. I'm afraid to fill it out and find what I've actually
spent on my 700S over the year though. Oh well, I bought it to ride it not
flip it.

My GS is getting that way and once I sell this 750 custom, it will be way
over it's worth because I'm going to rebuild with a big bore kit. I've
decided Ol' Blue is a keep forever bike. So why not get her in the 125HP
range?

High Jean,
That is a high mileage (kilometerage?) bike but as long as it was well
maintained that's not necessarily a problem for these bikes. That's about
the right price though if all it needs is cleaning and tune up. If any
major parts are missing though you might consider passing on it. You
