Buying old ass bikes for cheap, is the hassle worth it?
Hi everyone I'm greyson
I ride my z400 everywhere and I love her, but on longer trips (2-5 hours) she can lack power and be a little uncomfy.
Scrolling thru FB marketplace there seems to be a lot of older cruisers like gold wings and such below $2000 with relatively low mileage and other quirks like abs.
I know these bikes are old but I've heard that older cruisers, especially touring bikes, hold their age well. If I got one I'd have to park it on the street tho, and I do live in the hood ... Who the hell is stealing a 1990 gold wing ..
Anyways I'm curious if older bikes can just be bought as is (given the sellers are being truthful) and given regular maintenance or is there always some bs to buying these older cruisers
Thank u
Greyson
