It doesn't matter where you start...it's where you end that counts. When I sell something on Kijiji, I usually price it with some room to move, because most people want to grind a few dollars off the top end....makes em feel like they got a good deal. But, there's also some people that are just plain fawked.
"that are just plain fawked." Haha Yeah Buddy!


It's definitely an eye catcher, ugly as fawk or not, I would have kept the original tunnel and hood.


The motor cost more than an M1000. Id like to see what you ride besides a chug.

Hahahahahaha!

p.s. love the avatar.

That link to the wedge for sale is "long hair freaks"?Am I following this right?
There for sure is some serious cash invested into that thing.Like it or not,it's very
easy to see that he has great pride in it's build.
One guy said when he lists things for sale on kijiji he lists a little high,so he has a little
room to move on the price.I somewhat agree with that,it depends on the percentage.
When I had a extra chip for my cummins ,I listed it for $200 and got $200 . I didnt see the point
in listing it for $250 and coming down to $200.
Thats just me.Opinions are like A holes............................We all have one.;)

chug? as in native women? hell yeah, I've had my share. as for a sled, I just buy a new one every 4 or 5 years. that way the depreciation doesn't hurt that much, not like the cash you're gonna lose if you spent more than 25K on that antique. might as well put it in a lexan case and bury it as a time capsule. would be cool if people a couple hundred years from now could laugh at you too....

Id bet that thing would pass my new sled like I'm standing still. But that's because I'd be on the brakes turning the other way.

you laugh when your antique that you have over 25G invested in passes the newer stock sleds that are worth 13-15,000? or you laugh when you pass the newer sleds modded up with the same amount of coin you have invested? does it run with the new sleds on PGT's or RGT's and what does it weigh? just asking the question.

It will run with some PGTs and RGTs even some turbo Yamahas. Theres alot more to making a sled work well than just giving it gobs of HP. In alot of cases adding more HP just compounds the problems the chassis had in the first place.

I don't think that level of depreciation has anything to do with the quality of the machine, just the level of demand for them. Those early four strokes were absolute tanks and no one wants to buy a 700 pound sled for mountain riding these days.
