Honda SL100
« on: January 01, 2008, 11:37:27 pm »
Bike has good compression and good spark, but is not currently running.
Original front tyre, recovered seat, very good chain and sprockets.
All the wheel bearings, swing arm bushes, etc are nice and tight.
On the downside, it looks only OK, and needs a tidy-up.
Road gear is missing, although it does have the speedo, ignition lock, helmet lock (no key for either) and headlight mounts.
Original exhaust, including a not-too-bent original chrome heat shield.

It's a greeny-blue one with the yellow stickers - I think it's a '71 model, but the stuff I found on line kinda confused me.

Bike is in Yass NSW.
Price is "Make me a sensible offer". I'd love to keep it, but I've made no progress on it in months and there's other bikes vying for shed space...

I'll get pic up in the next day or two.

 :D not so weird Tim..I do like the little SL100's and 125's. The earlier the better..the one I'd bid on was frame with a seized motor..probably might have saved me some stress as something a little more complete would be more to my needs not having any spares except some new gaskeys and std valves..doesn't matter where a project starts eh, my theory, something's (nearly) always better than nothing  ::)

Tim I'd love it to pieces!!..literally!!..I'd put it back together though I promise!!  :D thanks for the option blokey bloke but I doubt I could afford it so soon after Santy :( hmmmmm...maybe I could..just a sec..gotta think what I can sell or do to fund this vessel of impulse..mmmmmm..ok

Nathan..do you have a $ BUY IT NOW figure in mind that would ease your suffering at the loss of this lovely little beast??..I hate being the one to make offers as it could offend and I'm always tempted to start at 99c.. :P could be the reason it seems to offend I guess  :-\  ebay habits die hard  ::)

I'm a bit wary about putting a price on it, because these things have been typically going for stupid money on EBay... And while I'd be happy with sensible money, I also want to minimise the chances of it being bought (from me) and on-sold just to make a profit...
I'd much prefer to see it go straight to the person who actually wants it, without the middle man mark-up.

Send me a PM with an offer, and it'll save everyone the Ebay bullshit. I am not easily offended. ;)

Cold hard light of day edit: I don't think the bike is worth thousands of dollars, even on Ebay. I'm thinking it's probably worth a few hundred on Ebay. It owes me ~$250. That's the ball-park I'm hoping for.

sounds good to me 8) I'll take it pending a few little terms and conditions. It will 'not' be onsold in any foreseeable future Nathan..actually..I've not sold a dirtbike since 1976 and never have I onsold a bike simply for profit..these 2 issues could spell my demise ::)

late edit..I lied..I sold my YZ250G  :'(

we probably like them Tim cause they are pretty harmless and never really bit us like some of the critters that followed :D the only part of the bike I don't like and would most certainly remove is the part you most wanted   ;)

Doc.
When Nathan got the little Honda he was looking for a good used 17 inch rear nobby tyre for it. I had put one aside for him should he if still need it by next we caught up.  now you own the the little wonder the tyre here should you need it. Shes a good tyre with plenty tread and still soft even though shes an oldie.
Cheers Quicky.

I can feel a shootout coming on. THe Battle of the Pitbikes! Docs Honda SL100 V Tims DT100 V my TS90 Suzuki Honcho V Klub Kevlars TS100 Suzuki Honcho. I'd put a lazy $100 on at Centrebet on either of the Honchos to win in all areas but there wouldn't be much in it and it'd be a fun shootout.
