No mileage listed, but looks in good shape.

if closer, I would be all over that one for sure.

wanna bet it does not start since the choke lever is not pushed ALL the way down is all, well maybe?

I passed up a deal just 2-3 days ago on my 4th cycle it selling ASAP right before I was going to look at it this weekend, wife said she would open up a used cycle lot if I bought it even after I told her I could keep it for 10 years and still sell it for what I paid for it.  

I now have a 249cc single cylinder, 748cc 4 cylinder, and 1520cc 6 cylinder.  NOTE:  not one V-twinky in the bunch.  I figure my single cylinder shakes at idle just enough to consider it a v-twin HD.. 2funny

Or, it's been sitting for a long time, the gas has turned to crap and it needs the carbs rebuilt or, how bout a hydro lock.   Oh so many things could be wrong.    Not to suggest it isn't worth it but, Caveat Emptor.   Let the buyer beware...............

thats definitely a consideration, hydro lock would add some cost, but to the right owner, you could fix it and still be up a couple grand.

I'd do a carb rebuild/inspection de-smog anyways.

 good deals go quickly on craigslist I have found often.  You gotta go after work next day or take a vacation day off work since if wait until the weekend, items will be sold.  Like said, I found an item worth 1500 all day long selling for only 1K I should have bought.  It sold 3 days later, gone.  Not that I REALLY needed it, but I could have resold one week later and made 500 bucks profit on it, for sure 400 bucks profit.
