I also posted this in the quick board but here it is again. Ran into a guy with a beautiful 2000 M2 Cyclone with only 375 miles on it that this fool wants to disassemble to build a "chopper".
Here's the specs:
2000 M2 Cyclone
375 miles
Yellow
Forcewinder or D&D exhaust system

He'll take $6000.00 for it before November at which time he plans on destroying it for it's engine and drive line. I have his number so if any one is interested in a virtually new M2 I can give you his number or act as your agent if you'd like.

I'd buy the bike myself but I'm just not in position to do so right now.

6000 is what that bike cost new due to the shock recall fiasco of 2000. Let him cut it up, it;s not worth $4,500.

Its his bike to do with as he pleases. Its not like the M2 is all that rare and collectible. I mean if it was an RR or an RS & he was planning on killing it, then sure go ahead & rescue the poor thing.

Total production of 8800 units isn't rare? Maybe by Buell standards it isn't but that's a pretty finite number none the less. Yes, it his do with what he wishes, but I posted this as there's usually someone on this board looking for a bike like this and it's too nice to do this to.

As far as value is concerned, $6000 isn't too far out of line for what the bike is. Having helped a friend look for an M2 recently, I can tell you that it is reasonable.

If neither of you are interested, fine. But take your bloviating (I know, spelling) elsewhere this time.

Sorry,Dave,but check the want ads and see what the prices on used Buells are(or any motorcycle right now)Dirt cheap deals are out there for used bikes.So 6000 for an M-2 that was really the low dollar Buell model is way too much.I see S-2's I want to buy all the time for about 4000.00 dollars and they are way more rare and sold for way more money new.

Dave,
As defensive as you seem to be about this it appears like you have some other motivation behind this deal. I merely stated it wasn't worth that much money and you tell me to go away? Have you looked at my profile pic? I think I have a bit of a right to speak about this subject. You have how many Buells?

Excuse me. Forget I mentioned anything. I have no motivation other than I didn't want to see a good bike be scrapped for a chopper, that's all. You don't have to own a garage full of them to know something about them.
