You'd really have to want a virago to pay $3000 for a 1999.
Although to be fair it is very low mileage and clean, might be worth it to somebody...

Oh, in another few weeks when spring fever hits, you never know.

But in October, yeah, that's a $1500-$2000 bike.
 
I like the bigger v-stars, specifically the 1100 classic and would love to add one to the "collection", so I'm always looking at them. This one is a 1300 but am kinda surprised at the price, nearly double the next most expensive one in Ontario that I see. Is it overpriced or am I not seeing the value?

Yamaha stopped making them in 2017, but you can still get a new one from dealers. MSRP is $14,999 plus your standard Freight, PDI and taxes.
Basically the seller of this one is only willing to lose money on fees and taxes and thinks the bike is still worth a new one.

^ seller is selling the bike because he has two other bikes and he's only ridden it once and would like to see someone else using it and he's going back to school to learn about punctuation and sentence structure

They've removed all turn signals, mirrors, and swing arm mounted the plate. That makes a statement of a sort

All of that to look cool while they put 125km on it. In its entire life, that bike only travelled from Niagara to Toronto. Sad.

That batwing with the gps on the Vstar is pretty sweet, though.

What's that about the km's being off by 30% because of the gearing?

Your speedo is setup to run with a certain diameter of tire/rim and front and rear sprockets. When you change any of these factors it will make you speedo read faster or slower than actual speed, which also throws off the odometer reading.

Oh ok, got it thanks.

I edited my post, he actually shows one screenshot where it says "finally back together". Curious what that means or if he even realizes that he showed that info...probably will tell you never dropped when you speak with him about the price.
 
"Finally back together"
"Also, Km’s are off by 30% because of the gearing"

Reading between the lines: Used to was a stunt bike.

This one has been posted for a while, not sure if it's already been mentioned here. I'm pretty sure I saw this exact bike at the St. Louis bike meet in Bolton last summer, the owner was talking it up big time. It's a nice clean bike if it's the same one, but is it worth 10k?

Dont forget "new subframe" and "fresh paint".

Not sure if this belongs here or the reasonably priced thread, but to me it seems expensive. He claims one sold recently for 27k USD but I wouldn't think it had 50km on it like this one.

Having said that, this is "the one" for me..this Gen of zx7 just pulls at me especially in this colour combo, I rode a standard zx7 back in the day and I have a soft spot for it. Nostalgia and all that...
