I started with a $1000 project that now has about $1000 in parts. Down to the final stages and just have to get it running to my liking. A month ago I was looking at letting it go and getting back into cruisers.

Till death do us part so to speak.Originally posted by mcssls View PostI started with a $1000 project that now has about $1000 in parts.

Heck, that would be worth the ride just to sell it
Around here in Portland, it seems that bikes are a little more than some other places. Its rare to find anything running well for less that $700, let alone anything that as young as '95.
I'm addicted to staring at Craigslist ads and I've seen 1976 CB350s for over $1500

The CB is also a desirable bike, a Katana is not.
Realistically, a pre 98 in rideable shape with some wear can expect $1k, but you can probably find an inexperienced rider who will pay more. I paid $2k for my 93 since I didnt know what I was doing.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

After about a solid month of work(while working and being a full time student), I got her up and running, and have been riding her ever since!
