ive been looking for a ysr for a while now and i think i found one close enough for me to pick up. i just called the guy and he seems pretty firm on the price. i feel that if i really needed to i could get the price down maybe a few dollars.
some background on myself: I HAVE NO MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE, NONE AT ALL. no fab skills or welding or nothing. :facepalm im looking at getting a good starter tool set now to dive into this. i live 20 minutes from team Calamaris home base in Salinas, but i dont know if they would have time for all the questions i have to ask
i want something that i can learn to ride and work on, and have it be street legal (i thought of pocket bikes, dont think my 6' frame could take that). also thought of a gs500 but they do cost more. i was thinking this could be the perfect bike to learn the essentials and keep for years to come once it becomes a classic.
the fact that its all taken apart scares me a bit, and that it only has "800" miles on the original motor. he doesnt have keys for it, i guess the ignition was drilled through.
here is the bike, is it worth it? Should i look for something else?
and thank you so much for your time
