    Randy donate it to forgotten angels in Florida they completely go through bikes like that and raffle them off to support kids that age out of the foster care system & have nothing. They build tiny homes for them & teach them to become productive members of society.

    Only people who don’t ride a lot or hardly any at all would think that 67,000 miles is high mileage. There’s people who ride every day and will put over 100,000 miles on a motorcycle. I had a 2009 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic that had 107,000 miles on it when I sold it and it still ran great. I know a guy who put 200,000 miles on a road king.

    That things a cruiser. For $600 I think you stole it. I don't know anything about that particular bike but it runs really good,
    and it will clean up really nice, so I would think you could get $2,000 for it, but I could be way off...
    You could ride that cross country easy. I would put new tires on it, check the wheel bearings, and go over it and check
    every single nut and bolt before you ride it again just to be safe.
    That's going to make someone a really good bike for not a lot of money.

    That bike ia such a score with all the original books and maint. records. Previous owner sounds like how my old man still is and was when he still rode.
    That bike looks like it would clean up really nice. Change the oil and maybe get new tires. You can certainly make some money on it as it sits. Not sure if new tires would really increase the value much. I'd let the new owner pick what tires they want.

    I've had crotch rockets, sportsters and the like. Now I ride a Harley RoadGlide Ultra which is every bit as big as that Kawasaki. Yes, they handle very differently than a smaller town bike. They are much more capable for long distance and that's what I use ours for on journeys to Sturgis from CA and other long distance trips. A big bike definitely has its benefits. So thrilled to see you out on this bike Randy. Oh, and 753lbs is easy. You learn how to squat down and back into it and then lift with our legs. Easy when you learn the proper technique. Hope you enjoy this one.
