I saw this non running bike on craigslist. Would there be more than 1500 in parts on it? Would it be a shame to part it out?http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/mcy/1101615199.h tml

Shame to part it out. Might be a perfectly good bike with a little work. Probably low miles too.

Whether it's perfect or not, it's DEFINITELY worth $1500. If you get it home and it's not what you want, post it here on badweb...someone will give it a good home.

I don't have the 1500 sitting around. Hoping someone here would get it.

Ourdee, are you close enough to look at the bikes (maybe pictures)? Do you have the space to hold them for a couple of months? I can send you 1500.

If the bike is mostly there and it is a 96 S2-T I would buy it but I cannot just pickup and leave however I will be in that area for homecoming.

Loren, I must have been typing when you posted. Sorry, you go ahead.

The sad thing is it will probably end up as a chopper project if you do not get it.

Frank, I'll see if the guy responds. I emailed the craig's list email and the AOL address he list asking for photos and contact info.

Okay, This was the response.

"NO PHOTOS"...That was it. Guy is not a communications major for sure.

Replied back asking for a contact number and where can the bike be seen.

They sound stolen to me. Can't find the keys for one, can't start either of them, but they both run? He can't actually remember what's wrong with the Buell? WTF? I wouldn't be surprised if he had some "trouble" locating those titles.

Ourdee, thanks for the PM.

If they are stolen then he will not give up the VIN. He seems to be an idiot to me.

He says he has both titles in hand, I guess some of you need to settle down.

If anyone gets a number, I can stop by and check it out!

I'm heading to Chicago today for Drill so I sorta kinda not really pass through there (it's south of my route), but more than happy to stop for anyone, and I'll take a camera.

I just read the post, seems I'll stop by and check it out (I don't have $1500 sitting around though).

I am going to contact a buddy and see if he knows any LEO's out there and have them come with me to run the VIN's while I wait. =) Even thought I'm not buying. LOL

I've got a repsonse and an address to go check out the bike today.

I won't be buying it, but I will have the VIN ran by a buddy who is a LEO...and rides a Buell.

I'll get pics as well and either post them while I'm driving or once I get to base.
