I have 2 very nice VX800's for sale (again)
« on: March 09, 2014, 01:47:53 PM »
 Hi folks,
  My wife & I are reluctantly selling our VX800s.   (We need to raise some $$$ for our son & his family).  A purchaser reneged on my Norge & I still need to gather up some cash.  You can see more pics in my July 1st Western Maryland Craigslist ad.  New price is $500 less than my original price---$4,995 dropped to $4,495!
  Her bike is a maroon 1990 model with 8,502 miles, a few extras and no blemishes at all.  Mine is a red 1991 model with 22,001 miles and  lots of extras and the only blemish is a small scuff on the right-side exhaust.  Both start & run great.  Mileages will increase---we ride them on nice days.
  We also have an extensive list of spares---most new-in-box.  They go with the "package deal"---I know if we just sell one we'll be looking for another one before the summer is over...  I plan on putting them on  Western Maryland Craigslist on 7/1/14.

I have a big MSWord file with lots of information, a list of spares and about a dozen pics.  Send me an email at joe.gilmore1@gmail.com and I'll send it to you.  I'll try to attach a few pics to this post, too.

I live in western MD.  I need $4,495 for the entire package---2 great bikes and going-on a thousand bucks worth of spares.  I know---seems kind of pricey.  Take a look at the MSWord file and the bikes and you may decide that I'm selling everything too cheaply.
Thanks!
Joe

They don't have garages for rent in Victoria, Vishnuisgod?
Here's the kind of guy I am.  You buy them from me and I'll store them in my garage, riding them regularly to keep them exercised & ready to go.  Then, whenever you visit the USA, take them for nice long rides!  I recommend the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Cherohala Skyway & Deal's Gap. (See pics)

It's a win-win solution.
Thanks!
Joe

Wish I could have found VX's that clean around here when I bought mine... 
Great deal.
Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you...

Joe: sorry to hear you need to get rid of your and your Missus' toys! My lady in Pa lives on a gravel track just like yours and the two VXs we have there are SO stable on those surfaces. I can forsee the time when our pair of VXs will be up for sale too, but not just yet. They do make an excellent His'n'Hers pair of bikes, so I hope you find someone who'll appreciate them!

All the best,

Nick, UK

I'm pleased to announce that I was able to sell 10 other bikes on Ebay/CL and now my wife & I can keep these 2 VX's!  We plan to ride them to the VJMC National Rally in Helen, GA June 2015.
Thanks for your inquiries/interest.

Yep.  Nice bikes and we're want to sell them (and all of the spares) as a "package deal".
Thanks!

I still have one VX800 for sale.

I've just sold the 1990---the 1991 and all of the spares are still available.  For now, anyway---I've almost convinced myself to keep them!

Sold the wife's and I've decided to keep mine.
The garage would be buck nekkid without a VX in it...

OK---I can't figure-out how to delete posts (actually, I think I'm not allowed to) so I'll just update.
I really like my VX so I'm keeping it and all of the spares.  My wife & I plus a couple of friends who bought VX's from me (I've owned 6 over the last couple of decades) had our VX's lined-up at the "Nostalgia Ride" out of Thurmont, MD earlier this Fall.  A bike nut came over to us all excited about seeing 4 in one place and how he wished he had one.  About 60 seconds later he pulled a Ben Franklin out of his wallet for a down payment on my wife's 1990.

The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club (www.vjmc.org) is having their National Rally in Pigeon Forge, TN June 25-27, 2015.   I said "Helen, GA" in an earlier post based upon what they were planning to do when we were there for the rally in 2013.

If you join, please tell them that Joe Gilmore # 11481 referred you.  Thanks!
Joe
