    11,985 miles. Carburetors overhauled and gas tank relined last summer. 12 volt battery. Rewired so it’s not Lucas wiring. Perfect working order. Winterized and kept in the garage with a battery tender. Recently driven and runs amazingly. $6499 or best offer.

    Jane. You might want to get some "comps" on this. I think the price is a bit optimistic. i am not
    buying. Just giving you one man's opinion. I am on the west coast. ...J.D.

    Thanks, J.D., I appreciate it. This was pretty much the middle of the road from all the advice I got from the dealership that worked on it and the forums I’ve posted on.

    Jane. I think it is probably in your interest to start some discussion on this site as to what THEY think it is worth. These are the people that would.actually buy something like this. Right now, on the west coast, there is not much cash flow. Too many people not working. Our virus is a little behind what you had back there, so it is going to be around a while. I used to buy used bikes a few years back. I usually got my leads off of Cycle Trader. You might look there for some realistic ideas. Good luck. ...J.D.

    Looks to be in good condition. If numbers match, I would think you are at a decent initial price, probably negotiate down. You have to get the right buyer, as these machines are only marginally collectible. There is an almost identical model in Madison, Wisconsin on Craigslist for $6000. It is an stocker with more miles and a few issues. Been there for a bit. Might want to list in Hemmings. Good luck.

    Here in the UK it would sell all day long at that price. Looking at the pictures it looks really nice apart from little things like mirrors. But I don't know how your market is on pricing.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely put it on Hemmings. I know the market can be a little uncertain with these types of bikes. Thank you!

    Thanks, Joe! I appreciate it. It’s a little up and down depending on the season and right now with the virus, you never know.

    I love the wide handlebars on the 70's Bonnevilles. I'm wondering how they'd go on my 2012 T100. Has anyone done that? would I need to get longer cables? (I realise I'm kinda off-topic)
