I have a source, he buys brand new bikes off the show room floor, parts them out for insurance companies and I can get the motors. I have another source that just called me yesterday, he has an 08 with 100 miles on it and wants $4,400,..the new zero mile motors are 5k.....

And for the record, I don't recommend new motors, the Federal is the first rail with a brand new motor, and I don' like the 08's either, they have thinner tranny gears. I'd rather punch out an older motor if I want a 12:1 compression setup, and I like motors with at least 1k miles...

Why do the insurance company's part out brand new bikes? Or did you just mis write that?

I think it's a great looking buggy for a good price. fit and finish has a cost. if ford or chevy could figure out how to build a car then they to would probably cost as much as a Ferrari. but they can't and so they're cheap, that way we all have something to drive.

at my shop if you have to ask how much you are in the wrong place!

If there are deletions to be made it will go all the back to the beginning, leaving the initial post.

Bug's post above is why we are here . . . don't lose sight of that!

Truth be known, I don't believe that pic is the first one that was posted, I think it got lost in the upgrades etc, But at the same time, It is close enough... And with that said, Posting a extraordinary vehicle with an extraordinary price on a site that has roots like the picture above, is kinda asking for some feedback, positive or negative...IMO
