Featured 1970 Bonny

Ok guys I'm working in a customer's house and spot a old bike sitting owner says it's a 1970 650 Bonneville he's the original owner has every bit of paperwork original Bill of sale with title it hasn't been started since the 80's he has everything thing the only bummer he chopped the front forks he said I could have it for $600 sold. I'm retiring Jan 1st so this should keep me busy

 

Lucky man, fabulous retirement project, please post some progress pix

 

good buy I think

 

Why don't these things ever happen to me?

 

That is I agree why don't these things happen to me....not to you

Drats.....$600 equals £444.87! Good grief I'll have two, no, make that as many as he has.

 

You lucky man

 

i paid $600 for my 650.

in 1977.

 

I bought them new in 1970 for under a thousand dollars in the US. I just sold a really clean 1970 Bonneville to a gentleman in Pittsburgh PA, USA who rode one similar when he was in England as a young man and he happily paid me $10,000.00 for it. It was almost show quality and I'm getting up there and it broke my heart, but it has a nice home in a heated garage still. They bring a wide range here in the US, but near perfect $10,000.00 is a starting price and up from there. You scored big time.
