The previous ad on gumtree price......... was dropped to $6,000.......and still no sale after many months of advertising.
Also to be noted.......... the references to higher priced bikes found........... are suffering the same fate..........."No Sale".
I can t remember how long i ve been seeing that one at Antique Motorcycles for sale.......hmmmmmmmmm.....yes i can........a bloody long time!
It would seem that the sellers are prepared to let the market place appreciate over time or wait for that one in a million unsuspecting buyer who does no market research on actual sales or someone who finds money is burning a hole in his pocket.
If someone had $8,000 to 9,500 there s  a whole range of newer motorcycles out there the sellers have to compete with.
None of these sellers have done proper market research on what these bikes sell for and what most people are prepared to pay.
My call ?........$4,500 to $5,500 max for Queensland sale.
American import at Antique Motorcycles ?.......It s a shabby example on close inspection..does have original pipes......
downside ?......... in appearance and presentation.......... and litres held...the Yankee tank.
$3,500 to $4,500...........don t see this one being sold at all at their asking price..

Clocks mounted below the top yoke. Very tidy.

Sure I've seen this one somewhere before    - CLICK

Bike was listed previously on Gumtree Brisbane for $8,000, which slowly reduced to $7000 till the ad was removed. Bike is now listed on the Bay at Warwick and this unregistered classic with the original plate still attached has somehow clocked up an extra 2,000 klms since the pic posted in the Gumtree ad in February.
Judging by the sellers blurb in the ad, he's obviously been reading a few posts on our site as well.
Anyway, it's a very nice bike and here's some more pics
