Good Morning All, It's a good time to buy a bike! I spent some time looking all over the country on Craigslist and put this video together. https://youtu.be/YPnwnKKY0UsRide Safe, Alien |

Some good finds there, Alien. All probably great buys, that #9 Wing could really show someone many happy touring smiles for cheap!

Some good finds. I would think that 86 Aspencade with just over 2k miles might be a scam. Someone stole that image from the original seller ( I would think 3500 dollars or more ) and looking for a sucker at this ridiculous price.
I use to look at craigslist a lot as I have bought and sold probably 15 bikes in the past decade. In our Dayton area there use to be 1000 to 1200 listings at anyone time. Then last fall I listed a work truck for sale and they wanted 5 dollar per month, which I did not mind. However it seems most people do mind. Looking at the motorcycle section only 90 to 110 bike are now for sale. Everyone going to facebook marketplace for free. However Last month I did sell 2 motorcycle on craigslist, and each one took less than a week.

had the 84 magna awesome instant classic, just wish it was the v65 magna, big difference in performance, especially the fastest year being 1983 vs. prior years 1984 on up. paid 1500 for it in 1989 GREAT deal snatched it up ASAP was worth 2200 at the time all day long, kept it 8 years and sold it for 1500. today, they are still going for 1500 bucks. If I kept it would still be worth some 30 years later same price I paid for it being 1500 bucks. I had to listen to the wife right?  |

I was wondering how you found them, seems SearchTempest is still working. I found this IS in Missoula. $2K https://missoula.craigslist.org/mcy/d/missoula-1999-honda-valkyrie-interstate/7130246089.htmlIf the border wasn't closed I would buy it. But being everything unknown, I don't know how to see it, pay for it, or get it home. But I would try. Only a 10 hour drive. It would be a lot easier getting this one looking like the bike I want, than to fix mine up to what it should be. My tank pint is thrashed, and other issues. I can even swap over my plastic to this one, and keep the paint sceam. |

 I love to look especially the older 70's & 80's. I guess as a teen I hoped my folks would let me have one but was only wishful thinking.  Not the big bike yet but dreamed of a 350-750cc. Honda-Yamaha-Suzuki. Thanks for posting, enjoyed your video.
