Ummm...I had to P again

Post by BuddyRaton »

78 P200. I'm fricking sick

Miles are just under 7K, original seat comes with it. $1700.

Picked it up today. It's in nicer condition than I thought it would be. Headlight is out, kill switch is broken off and horn doesn't work. A little tight shifting but the softest clutch I have ever felt. Adjustable dogleg lever that I haven't seen before.

Horncast has been replaced, but I think it is the first one I have seen with a working neutral light. Legshield trim roughed up, dent in mudguard, you know...a ridden scooter.

Just under 7K miles. Started cold 2 kicks. Original seat was included...which my ass is very thankful for...and an oversized windscreen. May cut that down.

Haven't checked out the motor yet but it rides like a stock 78/79 P200

My Stella is all banged up. Has her own quirks and idiosyncrasies. Drives me up the wall sometimes trying to figure out what's wrong.

I have a powerful Japanese touring motorcycle, but the Stella is still my favorite ride.

Congrats on P'ing again.

P200 for $1700 - is there no justice?

If I wanted an ice cream cone, there'd be exactly one available and it'd either cost $25,000 or be Limburger-flavored.

I hate you.

Nothing personal.

No problem brother! I've been on the other side and felt Thick as a Brick!

I was ecstatic to get $1500 for my technician owned P200 with a bunch of SIP goodies and a title in my name. 10 years ago I would have killed someone for that kind of deal.

Took a few months to sell. Nobody even bit until one guy messaged me - not even any lowball offers.
