What a description!! Can't even get that right.

Excellant condition. Ground up restoration (but, it's silver. res·to·ra·tion
   /ˌrɛstəˈreɪʃən/ Show Spelled[res-tuh-rey-shuhn] a return of something to a former, original, normal, or unimpaired condition.). New Engine, not rebuilt, not reman. Brand new factory Engine right out of a un-opened Honda box (Wow, they exist?). Found and purchased from a Honda dealership. Aftermarket pipe and silencer, aluminum rims. electric start, forward and reverse transmission. everything works as good as or better then new (Better than new? New is as good as it gets in my book.). This machine was professionaly restored (By whom? Weed?). Painted parts were acid dipped for paint removal and repainted using powdercoat paint in original factory colors (Ahahahahahahaaaahhahahahahahaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaaaa, original factory colours!! Hahahahahaaaaahahahaaaaaaaaa, or am I really horribly colour blind?:shock:). Clear coat was applied to reduce scratching and fading(Silver fades?). Stainless steel hardware. K&N air filter (That new Engine, won't be new for long.). Aftermarket gas racing shocks and springs on all four corners. Controls are steering mounted. Electric start.

I have invested over $6,400.00 in this machine which excludes my labor. (I'm guessing that his idea of 'investment' is what he paid for it & if that was Weeds old ride, wouldn't the labor have been done by Weed?)

I think it's a look a like. Weed's had a YFZ450 radiator in it with a water cooled head.

I emailed the guy trying to find out where he got the seat cover from! He just said he would post more pictures.

Ya just ask Weed.....

I built that one 3 years ago and sold it to that guy.

I have no idea about the acid dip thing?????? I had it plastic media blasted so it didn't reduce the tubing thickness. and you guys arn't color blind.....I don't know why he claims that it is a factory color.

He claimed he was an old Honda mechanic when I sold it to him. I remember that because he asked me if it could be governed..........??????>>>>> I told him no because it was a 2 stoke, you drive it like you stole it. That is how they were designed. I thought he was full of $hit when he asked that.

It is sold as well.......and if you build one like it, it is a bargain. Especially starting with a perfect frame and all new plastic.

I had the seat custom made with a carbon fiber looking fabric. It was marine grade and cost me $300 to have it done with extra padding......man it was sweet!!!

It was done by this guy....exceptional work, but you pay for what you get.

just because you spend $10K on something don't mean its worth $7,5K. I can uderstand a honda pureist possibly paying something like that but its not even the right color for that.

In ten years, I can't think of any sales of 350s for $7,500.00 or even close to it, are you saying you sold that machine on your website for $7,500.00 ? If so, well done on that sale, it probably set a record. Mudd?

Value is in the eye of the beholder..... If you wanted to build one just like it, it would be more than the 7.5K so I think the guy got a decent deal. Maybe not to most people, but then again it is a recreational item and not a necessity.

Got that right in my eye spending 7500 and buying TWO Pilots would be the value...
