    I'd say that's over priced, $1500, for a bike parked outside for several years. But don't really know anything about Moto Guzzis except their cylinders stick out at funny angles.

    Looks like my Tiger find from the previous page is being flipped. Clifton Forge (new ad) is a few miles west of Lexington (old ad) so this seems plausible:

    I picked up this project a couple of months ago. A 1996 triumph tiger with 21,000 miles. Guy hadnt fooled with it for a year or two. Had it in a shed behind his house covered with a tarp. Always thought they seemed like a cool bike, so I bought it. Cleaned it up, and have been slowly accumulating parts to get her back up and running. Work has really took off and it doesnt look like I'm going to have the time to tinker with it. Would like to try and break even for what I paid, and for the parts that have been bought for it. So far I have changed the oil and filter, checked the valve clearance, and cleaned the carbs. New parts that I have bought, plugs, petcock, battery, chain, airbox/filter and the valve cover gasket and plug well gaskets. The bike is complete, plastic is all there and nothing is broken up. A previous owner replaced the gas tank as its black and the rest of the plastic is red. It would make a cool bike for someone with just a bit more time than myself and a little elbow grease. Want $1500 for it.

    I ran across this ad when I was down in Humboldt last week. I saw Ettersburg and said "nope."

    I shared with all y'all because I have to sell something (unlikely) first. But now I'm getting some action on my cage. It could come my way still.

    But ay yi yi, Ettersburg!

    This bike is still for sale, I think originally $1500, been on the market at $1200 for a month or so, I'd bet he'd take $1000 now..... If there are no hidden problems, that seems like an absolute steal to me. Someone please come to Vegas and buy this thing before I'm tempted to pick it up and put it in the back of the garage. :D

    Not mine, etc...

    ======================================

    http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcy/3375400631.html

    This 1976 R90/6 is mechanically excellent and cosmetically very good considering that it is a stock and original bike that has seen 35 years of continous use. It is a daily driver with 76K miles that runs great and needs nothing. Krauser hard saddlebags are included. Contact me for more details.

    Montessa dirt bike complete frame.
    Don't know the year or model.
    Made in Spain.
    They are not being imported to the USA right now so would be good for parts or a project bike.
    Make an offer.

    I got a good chuckle out of the price on this one. It's worth about 1k less than what he has it posted for. Not a rare bike at all...

    This bike has been in a garage for some years. The milage is original !!! It is going to need some TLC to bring it back. The tires are dry rotted and need to be replaced,needs a battery, Also the engine will need to be turned over by hand after a lubricant is put in the cylinders as it has not been started for a long time. etc. The miles on this bike are positively original !! It will take a little bit of work but what a great bike with low miles . You do not find them in this good a condition to refurbish very often. It truly is one of a kind / Find Only call please if you are very interested and serious. Thanks, Dave 540-287-3107
