surprised to see 2 listed on eBay one for $1000 and the other for $1,600.

Did I just score?
was it a home run!

super excited to share
Excellent Score!!!

These bikes are really cool- there's so many ways to take the build and still end up with an ultra classy machine! I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for it!


As far as those prices- Those are HUGELY inflated. Keep in mind, anyone can list whatever they want at whatever price they want- it doesn't mean anyone is buying it. To get a better idea of what people would be paying is to change the search terms under 'advanced' to 'sold' or 'completed.' A mid 80s-early 90s M1000 would tend to be more desirable, thus command more money. These days tourers are going for much less than they were 5-10 years ago. You still got a hell of a score.

Best!
