Stock exhaust with a Yoshi bolt on.
Fairings are complete with no damage or road rash. A few garage scratches is all.
2-3 pinhead dings in the tank
good chain

Dealer is asking $2,995 Pics are attached

What do ya'll think?

Looks OK.
A little ratty perhaps.
Id say 2995 is fair but 2500 is about ideal given its overall visual condition.
Gauging the market for your other bike?

My red one? No. This is one I looked at for LightShadow, we're going to probably look at it on Thursday. This is one of the cleanest SRAD's I've seen locally. I've seen quite is few. This one is definitely nicer visually than my 99 and the only thing that bugs me about my 98 is the scuffs on th right side from the previous owner dropping it when he was turning into his garge. One of these days I'm going to find a damn good painter to match the original colors/airbrush work that's on there.

On this 98 I posted, the only thing I would do is find some vinyl the same color, get the original shape and have them cut. Peel off the original graphics, clean it and apply the new stuff. The bike would look awesome. Oh and I'd put matching tires on it.

This bike is about average...
We have all seen better and worse i suppose.
Doesn't thrill me though!

bastard! lol im in love with this bike. if it was avail closer to me i would jump onn it in a second. Id offer him $2700. Let me know if you ever wanna trade for a Red one with a reconstructed salvage title, probably the only thing that its good for is stunting. its sad, i kick myself in the ass everyday. :/

Always remember, cash talks bullshit walks. If you went in there with $2600 cash I guarantee you could walk out of there with it, maybe add like $200 for fees and whatnot but you get the idea.

do it, and good luck. Its an older bike, with moderate mileage and its scuffed up everywhere. If the guy really wants it gone and you stand firm on a lower price...how can he refuse? itd be a sweet snag. thats for sure

True That!
But, Remember...I have had many of these SRAD's in my hands over the years so it's hard to thrill me these days!
